Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line two cookie sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Place powdered sugar in a shallow bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the butter, eggs and red velvet cake mix until there are no large lumps left.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough with a medium sized cooke scoop and roll into balls and toss to coat in powdered sugar. Place on cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches for spreading.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops have cracked and the tops look set (the centers will still be gooey). Let sit for 5 minutes and then serve warm or transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To keep them extra soft and chewy, store the cookies with a slice of white bread. Replace the slice of bread every few days as it goes stale.
Watch the Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake. You want to take them out of the oven when the tops have cracked and set, but the centers are still slightly gooey. Overbaking can result in dry cookies, so it’s better to err on the side of underbaking if you want that chewy center.
Whoopie Pies: Pipe or spread some cream cheese frosting on the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it together with another cookie to create red velvet whoopie pies! To make them extra festive, you can roll the edges of the icing in sprinkles.
Chocolate Chips: Adding 1 cup of chocolate chips adds a great extra chocolate-y flavor to your cookies. You can use white, milk or dark chocolate chips!
Sprinkles: Instead of rolling the cookie dough in powdered sugar, you can roll these red velvet cake mix cookies in sprinkles instead!
