Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large
  • 1 cookie scoop or tablespoon

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix about 15.25 ounces
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until well combined and a dough forms.
  • If using, fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

  • Once cool, serve the cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage for a delightful treat.

Storage

  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
