Make soft and chewy red velvet cookies fast using only four main ingredients and a box of red velvet cake mix. Roll them in powdered sugar for a festive crinkle effect.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • Extra powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the entire box of red velvet cake mix, the two eggs, and the vegetable oil. Mix with an electric mixer or by hand until just combined into a thick dough. Do not overmix.
  3. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips gently.
  4. Place about 1/4 cup of extra powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
  5. Scoop the dough into tablespoon-sized balls. Roll each dough ball completely in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
  6. Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
  7. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will flatten and develop a crinkle texture as they cool.

Notes

  • For a slightly thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling in powdered sugar and baking.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the amount of powdered sugar used for rolling, though this will reduce the classic crinkle look.
  • These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
