Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by beating softened butter, cream cheese, and egg together until fluffy, then incorporating red velvet cake mix to form a smooth cookie dough. White chocolate chips can be folded in to add occasional bursts of sweetness. The dough is chilled to firm up before shaping into balls.
Cookies may be rolled in powdered sugar before baking or dusted with powdered sugar after baking once cooled. This adds a lightly sweet, matte coating complementing the red velvet flavor. Baking at moderate temperature yields cookies that are tender with a slight chew without spreading excessively.
These cookies offer a dessert option that uses cake mix to simplify flavoring and coloring while introducing cream cheese for moisture and richness. They can be served as a snack or dessert and appeal to those who enjoy red velvet flavor.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 egg
- 1 red velvet cake mix box mix
- white chocolate chips optional
- powdered sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- With a hand mixer, beat butter, egg, and cream cheese until fluffy. Add in cake mix and beat until smooth. Fold in white chocolate chips, if desired.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- If using powdered sugar, add ½ cup powdered sugar to a small bowl. Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out dough and roll it into balls. Dip in powdered sugar. Place on a greased cookie sheet and lightly press the tops to flatten them a bit.
- Bake for 12-13 minutes. If using white chocolate chips, top with a few white chocolate chips when the cookies come out fresh from the oven. If using powdered sugar, after the cookies are removed from the oven, sift the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar.
NOTE:
- This recipe can be topped with white chocolate chips or powdered sugar.
