Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies with White Chocolate Chips
These cake mix cookies are quick, easy, and irresistible, with a rich red velvet flavor and a sweet white chocolate chip finish. Let’s dive into the steps:
Ingredients:
- 1 box red velvet cake mix – The base of the cookies; you can use any brand of red velvet cake mix.
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil – This makes the cookies soft and chewy.
- 1 egg – This helps bind everything together and gives structure to the cookies.
- 1 cup white chocolate chips – Adds sweetness and a creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the rich red velvet flavor.
Preparation:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures it’s ready to bake your cookies as soon as you’re done prepping.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, and egg. Stir everything together using a spoon or hand mixer until the dough is smooth and well-combined. The dough should be thick but not too sticky.
- Once the dough is mixed, fold in the white chocolate chips. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop the Dough:
- Using a mini cookie scoop (or a tablespoon if you don’t have one), scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto a lined baking sheet (use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup).
- Bake the Cookies:
- Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the tops look slightly cracked. Keep an eye on them towards the end of baking to avoid over-baking since they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
- The cookies will be soft when you take them out of the oven, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them as a sweet snack or share them with friends and family!
Tips for Perfect Cookies:
- Don’t overbake: These cookies stay soft and chewy if you don’t overbake them. Take them out of the oven when they’re still soft in the center; they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Add-ins: Feel free to switch things up by adding other mix-ins like white chocolate chunks, regular chocolate chips, or even a few chopped nuts for extra texture.
- Storage: These cookies keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-4 days, or you can freeze them for up to a month.
These Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies are sure to be a hit! They’re easy to make and perfect for any occasion, especially when you want something sweet, colorful, and fun! Enjoy!
