Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional mix-ins: 1 cup white chocolate chips, cream cheese frosting drizzle, or powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- If desired, fold in white chocolate chips for added sweetness.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are set and centers remain slightly soft.
- Cool cookies on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with cream cheese frosting if desired.
Notes
- No chilling required, but refrigerating the dough for 15–20 minutes helps create thicker cookies.
- Use melted butter instead of oil for a richer flavor if preferred.
- Do not overbake—cookies should be soft in the center when removed from the oven.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their chewy texture.
