Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients
- 1 box (15 oz) red velvet cake mix Any brand can be used.
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil Can substitute with melted butter for slightly different texture.
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 11 oz white chocolate chips Chopped white chocolate can be used if chips are unavailable.
- Sprinkles (red, pink, or mixed) Use as much as you like for decoration.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes to help cookies hold their shape.
Baking
- Scoop the dough into balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until set on top but still slightly soft in the center.
Decoration
- Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip the tops of each cookie in the melted white chocolate or drizzle over them. Add sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
- Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let the chocolate set for about 10 minutes.
Notes
For uniform cookies, chill the dough a bit before baking. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
