Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 13.25–oz. box red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup oil (extra light olive oil, vegetable, or canola)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Additional white chocolate chips for topping (2-3 per cookie)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy clean-up.
- Mix Ingredients: Using an electric hand mixer, combine the red velvet cake mix, oil, and eggs in a large bowl until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips and miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed. The dough will be thick and sticky.
- Chill Dough: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour to help the cookies hold their shape and enhance the flavor.
- Form Cookies: Once chilled, scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into balls. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet spaced at least 2 inches apart to allow spreading. Optionally, press 2-3 white chocolate chips on top of each cookie for extra decoration and flavor.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. The cookies will appear slightly soft and underbaked in the center after baking.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes so they finish setting, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy with a glass of milk.
Notes
- If you prefer a less sweet cookie, reduce the amount of white chocolate chips.
- Chilling the dough is crucial to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- You can substitute the cake mix with a gluten-free red velvet mix to make this recipe gluten free.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free white chocolate chips and verify the cake mix ingredients.
