How to Make Red Velvet Cake Cookies

Ingredients:

1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Powdered sugar for the topping

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. The batter will be thick.
Spoon the dough into balls and roll each ball in powdered sugar until well coated.
Place the coated dough balls on cookie sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are slightly browned.

How to Serve Red Velvet Cake Cookies

Serve these cookies warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own, with a glass of milk, or as part of a dessert platter. For an extra touch, consider topping them with cream cheese frosting for that classic red velvet cake flavor.

How to Store Red Velvet Cake Cookies

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing the cookies. Place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, and they should maintain their quality for up to three months.

Tips to Make Red Velvet Cake Cookies

Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing; this helps the ingredients blend better.
For a thicker cookie, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking.
If you prefer a less sweet cookie, use less powdered sugar for rolling.

Variation

You can add white chocolate chips or chocolate chips to the cookie dough for an extra sweet twist. Alternatively, try adding a pinch of cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.

FAQs

1. Can I use a different cake mix?
Yes, you can use other cake mixes like chocolate or vanilla if you want to change the flavor.

2. How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies should have slightly browned edges but still be soft in the center. They will firm up as they cool.

3. Can I make these cookies ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough ahead of time, roll it into balls, and freeze them. Bake them fresh when you’re ready to serve.
