Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Red Velvet Cake Mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional mix-in)
- Powdered sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of red velvet cake mix, the melted butter, and the egg. Mix until just combined into a thick dough. Do not overmix.
- If using, gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Place about 1/4 cup of powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop the dough into balls, about 1 tablespoon each.
- Roll each dough ball completely in the powdered sugar until fully coated. This creates the crinkle effect.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will look slightly underdone. This helps keep them soft and chewy.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For thicker, bakery-style cookies, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling in powdered sugar.
- If you prefer a more intense red color, add 1-2 drops of red food coloring to the dough mixture.
- These cookies are excellent for Christmas baking or as Valentine’s Day cookies.
