Ingredients

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (use only 1/2 cup if you want them a little sweeter!)
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1.5-2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1.5 sticks of butter, softened
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Leave butter out to soften and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Once softened, beat with a hand-mixer until fluffy.
  3. Next, slowly add flour and cake mix until incorporated.
  4. Add your egg and mix completely.
  5. Fold in white chocolate and roll dough into 1 inch balls.
  6. Place on a bare cookie sheet and bake for approx 10 minutes.
  7. Allow to cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
  8. Fluffing these up with applesauce has the potential to make cakey, whoopie pie-like cookies that would taste awesome sandwiched with some frosting in the middle. YUM!

Notes

  • alternate butter-to-applesauce ratio: 1 sick of butter and 1 cup of applesauce for fluffier cake-like cookies.
  • Feeling fancy? Make them into red velvet cookie whoopee pies by sandwiching the cookies with vanilla cream cheese frosting in the center center for a festive holiday cookie sandwich.
  • Recipe yields 2-3 dozen cookies, depending on size rolled.
