    Cake mix cookies are a great time saver because the cake mix already includes almost all of the ingredients! To make these red velvet cookies, you only have to add oil and eggs to the cake mix and you get beautiful, soft cookies.

    Start by putting the red velvet cake mix, oil, and eggs into a bowl and stir until combined.

    Roll the cookie dough balls in powdered sugar and place them on a parchment covered baking sheet.

    How do you get the crinkle top on the red velvet cookies?

    Cookies naturally have cracks in the top that form while baking. Since these red velvet crinkle cookies are dark in color and have been rolled in white powdered sugar the cracks stand out when the cookies are baked.
