Once this time of year rolls around, we imagine ourselves in the kitchen each day, whipping up cakes, cookies, and all manner of holiday confections for our loved ones, neighbors, and friends. In my imagination, I’m always wearing a big old smile as my family looks on adoringly in appreciation of how I do all of these wonderful things to make this time of year even more memorable.

And then you realize how messy the kitchen is already and how quickly you can fill up a sink with dirty dishes, how very tired you are after working all day, shuttling the kids to activities, and juggling housework on top of it all.

How to Make Red Velvet Cookies From Cake Mix

Place the boxed cake mix, eggs, and oil in a large bowl.

Mix with an electric mixer until blended.

Fold in the white chocolate chips.

Scoop your cookie dough out into slightly smaller than golf ball-sized balls onto an ungreased baking sheet. You can simply use a spoon or a cookie scoop.

Bake these at 350 for 10-12 minutes, or until very lightly browned on the bottom edges.

Let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the cookie sheets.

Look how pretty!

Enjoy your delicious red velvet cake cookies!

Storage

Store your cake mix cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the raw cookie dough or the baked cookies as well. Thaw at room temperature before devouring!

Recipe Notes

Some people refer to this as red velvet cookie cake mix. The Duncan Hines cake mix pictured is the same and this recipe works with any cake mix. I especially like chocolate and red velvet.
Instead of white chocolate chips, you can use semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips instead.
Adapt this recipe to make any kind of cookies. For example, use a chocolate cake mix and white chocolate chips, or a vanilla cake mix with sprinkles.
Another option is to roll the cookie dough balls in granulated sugar or powdered sugar before baking.
Make a red velvet cookie sandwich by adding our homemade cream cheese frosting between two cookies. Red velvet sandwich cookies? YUM.
If the cookie dough/cake batter is too sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then it should be good to go!
