Make soft and chewy red velvet cookies fast using only four ingredients and a boxed cake mix. Roll them in powdered sugar for a festive crinkle effect.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Red Velvet Cake Mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

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 into a thick dough. Do not overmix.
  3. Place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
  4. Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoons and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
  5. Roll each dough ball completely in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
  6. Place the coated balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
  7. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will look slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The crinkles will set as they cool.

Notes

  • For added texture and flavor, mix in 1 cup of white chocolate chips with the dough in Step 2.
  • If you prefer a richer cookie, substitute the vegetable oil with 1/2 cup of melted, cooled butter.
  • To achieve a more pronounced crinkle, chill the dough balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before rolling them in powdered sugar and baking.
  • If you want a thicker cookie, use 1/3 cup of oil instead of 1/2 cup, or chill the dough for one hour.
