Description
These vibrant cookies are a delightful twist on the traditional red velvet cake, bringing a soft, chewy texture with a rich cocoa flavor. They’re perfect for any occasion, from festive holidays to an afternoon treat with friends.
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 oz) box of red velvet cake mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or any preferred chips)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the red velvet cake mix, oil, and eggs. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and fully combined. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it here.
-
Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout.
-
Shape the Cookies: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time, rolling it into a ball. Place the balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
-
Bake to Perfection: Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The cookies should be slightly cracked on top and soft to the touch.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These cookies are quick to make and bake, but the dough can be chilled for easier handling if it’s too sticky.
- Feel free to substitute the white chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate for a different twist.
