You can make soft, chewy red velvet cookies fast using a boxed cake mix. This simple recipe requires only four core ingredients for a vibrant, delicious treat perfect for holidays or quick desserts.

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 addition)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of red velvet cake mix, the two eggs, and the vegetable oil. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. If you are using white chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough now.
  4. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
  6. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a crinkle cookie effect, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before placing them on the baking sheet.
  • If you prefer a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • You can substitute the vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
