How To Make Red Velvet Cookies

This easy cookie recipe might feel like you are cheating a little bit but these cookies taste amazing. Even though they are made with a cake mix they aren't cakey, they are just a really simple cookie recipe that tastes great.

Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner I was thinking I wanted a red color cookie. So with these cookies, I went with a box of red velvet cake mix. The cake mix is where you can really change it up. We have a similar recipe for strawberry cake mix cookies that you may also enjoy.

I have used Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines to make these chewy cookies. However, you can use whichever cake mix you prefer. Now that we have the cake mix we need some vegetable oil, 2 large room temperature eggs, and some white chocolate chips.

Into a large mixing bowl add the cake mix, oil, and two large eggs. I use my stand mixer to mix this easy recipe together but a hand mixer will also work. Mix all the ingredients until everything is combined.

Fold in the white chocolate chips using a rubber spatula. I like to reserve the ¼ cup of chocolate chips to place on top of the cookie before baking. Scoop the cookie dough out using a medium-sized cookie scoop. Or scooping two tablespoons of cookie dough out and forming a dough ball.

How Long To Bake These Easy Cookies For

Place cookie dough onto a prepared cookie sheet pan. I like to use silicone liners or parchment paper to keep my cookies from sticking to the baking sheet pan.

Take those reserved white chocolate chips and place them on top of individual balls of cookie dough. This step is optional I just like how the cookie looks at the end.

These easy red velvet cookies need to be baked in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes. Or until the tops of the cookies look like they are set. After removing the cookies from the oven leave them on the sheet pan to cool for 5 minutes.

Then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Like most of our cookie recipes, I recommend storing these cookies in an airtight container. These cookies can also be stored for up to two months in the freezer as long as they are in a freezer-safe container

Baking Tips For Cake Mix Cookies

I'm all about sharing tips to help make our recipes as easy as possible. So of course I do have a few tips as well as some variations for this red velvet cookie recipe.

If I was asked which two items help to make making cookies the easiest. I would say a cookie scoop and silicone liners. The cookie scoop means the same-sized cookies and an even bake. The liners help the cookies from sticking to the sheet pan. Then there is no need for cooking spray that builds up on the sheet pans over time.

I use a medium sized cookie scoop for these cookies but you could use a small cookie scoop. The baking time would need to be adjusted for smaller sized cookies.

Recently I have been making sure when I bake cookies to use room temperature eggs. Just like room temperature butter, eggs that are at room temperature blend more evenly into batters.

This red velvet cookie recipe will be a bit sticky once all the ingredients are mixed together. If you find that it's too sticky place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up some.

Now for some simple variations that can change these amazing cookies up a bit. Switching the red velvet cake mix with other cake mixes will change the overall flavor of the cookies. For a richer chocolate flavor try a devils food cake mix.

Try different add-ins like M&M's, toffee bits, sprinkles, or peppermint chips will also be a simple change. You could also leave out the white chocolate chips and top them with a cream cheese frosting. Or make them a red velvet crinkle cookie by dipping them in powdered sugar

How To Store

To preserve the freshness of these easy red velvet cake mix cookies, the proper storage is key. Once the cookies have cooled completely, follow these easy steps.

Place the cookies in an airtight container. This helps prevent exposure to air, which can cause the cookies to become stale. If layering the cookies in the container it's best to separate layers with parchment paper or wax paper. To prevent the cookies from sticking together.

These red velvet cookies are generally fine at room temperature for a few days. However, if you want to extend their shelf life, consider storing them in the refrigerator.

Freezing red velvet cake mix cookies is an option as well. Once the cookies have fully cooled on a wire rack place them in an air-tight container like a freezer bag. When ready to enjoy simply thaw at room temperature.
