    How To Make Red Velvet Cookies

    cake mix cookie ingredients in a mixing bowl

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

    add white chocolate chips to mixing bowl

    Stir in the white chocolate chips. The white chocolate chips are optional and could be replaced with semi-sweet chocolate chips if preferred.

    mixing batter in glass bowl

    The red velvet cookie dough batter is thick, so you probably don’t want to stir this recipe by hand.

    scoop of cookie dough

    Use a two tablespoon size cookie dough scoop to form balls of dough.

    coating red velvet cookie dough balls with powdered sugar

    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.

    Bake the red velvet cookies at 375˚F for 6-8 minutes.

    Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack, and then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days or in the freezer for up to four weeks.
