Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
Description
Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies use a red velvet cake mix combined with eggs, oil, and vanilla extract to form a sticky dough. This dough is rolled in confectioners' sugar before baking, which creates the characteristic crinkled surface. Baking at 375°F for 7 to 9 minutes softens the inside while setting the bottoms, yielding cookies that hold shape yet remain tender inside. The gentle rolling of dough balls in sugar also contributes to a sweet, lightly crisp outer coating.
The recipe balances the distinctive cocoa and red coloring of red velvet with a soft chewiness that stands out from denser baked goods. These cookies work well as a snack or dessert where a cake-like texture is desired in a handheld form. Their bright color and sugar coating also make them suitable for festive occasions.
The baking sheet should be lined with parchment to prevent sticking, and cookies placed with space allow for slight spreading. Letting the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes helps them set enough for lifting without breaking.
Ingredients
- 1 red velvet cake mix 15.25 ounces, box
- 2 egg large
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until well blended. Place confectioners’ sugar into a medium bowl.
- Using a medium cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons), drop balls of dough (dough will be sticky) into the confectioners’ sugar, roll to coat. Gently form dough into a ball by lightly rolling between your palms.
- Place dough balls on prepared baking pan about two inches apart.
- Bake in preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes. The bottoms will be set but middles will look slightly undercooked. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on pan before removing to a wire rack.
