Recipe Notes
- Some people refer to this as red velvet cookie cake mix. The 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. ? YUM.
- If the cookie dough/cake batter is too sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then it should be good to go!

I hated math at that level, oh didn’t like it in lower levels but could manage it. I failed grade 9 because I put down the answers and no work, I did it all in my head but couldn’t tell the teachers how. I still don’t know . I do know the next year the teacher actually made up an equation he had to work to find an answer, I had it written dow within a minute, he knew I wasn’t cheating so he marked my papers himself, I could make the equations, but not the work steps to get the answer, my brain just wouldn’t do all that when it knew the answer.
That having been said, the cookies look great.
By the way they lied about needing that abc stuff later in the work force, I needed adding, subtracting and multiplication skills in every job, and in my home life, learn accounting instead, better return on the work, as far as math goes, kids need to learn budgeting, checkbook balancing, and how to deal withrent, mortgages etc, not how to play with letters and numbers.
I like the way you think Eva!!
Years ago,I got a “C” in Algebra for the same reason. Al answers correct;no work to show how….
I forgot to add, this dough is so easy to work with, next batch I’m trying it in a cookie press.
Great idea Donna. I have never tried it, please let me know how it works out!!
I made these for the first time today,I had tried the recipe on the Duncan Hines box last year and it was a disaster…This year I found this much easier recipe though your site…They are Fantastic!!!! I just finished making my 3rd batch…Thank You My Christmas tins no doubt will be a Hit !!!!!
God Bless and Merry Christmas to You and Yours.
Thanks for this recipe Christy. My boyfriend needed to bring 40 cookies to a office meeting. Of course he knows I get all your emails with recipes so he asked me to make one of your cookie recipes. This one looked perfect since it is Christmas time.
Oh Wow, I am so honored!! I hope every one loves the cookies and you have a very Merry Christmas!!
Your cookies were a hit at the office meeting Christy! My boyfriend just texted me to tell me everyone loved them! He said they were gone in a few minutes. Thanks so much again for the help. I cannot wait till your next cookbook comes out. Merry Christmas to you!
Oh my goodness, I am so glad they were a hit!!!!
Keep’em coming!! I am loving these EASY wonderful recipes for Christmas cooking!!
Christy, I’m not really into baking, so these cookies look great for me. The only baking I do is with boxed mixes, so thanks for an easy cookie recipe I will have to try soon.
As for math, don’t throw anything at me, but I actually LIKE math and find it to be easy. Thankfully, my son takes after me in that regard. It works out well since we homeschool, which I think you just recently started doing with your daughter. Just wait, the math gets a little tricky in a few years…
These look so yummy. Gonna have to try them soon. I SOOOOO agree with you on this so called algebra mess. I’m dealing with the same thing with my 9th grade daughter. I don’t know where they get this crazy stuff from.
