Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, and large eggs. Use a spatula or a hand mixer to blend the ingredients until they are well combined and form a thick dough.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Each ball should be about 1 inch in diameter.
- Place the rolled dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- Once all the dough is on the baking sheets, pour the powdered sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll each cookie ball in the powdered sugar until they are fully coated.
- After coating, return the cookies to the baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake, as they will continue to firm up while cooling.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the cookies warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Valentine's Day Red Velvet Cookies!
Tips
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest dough consistency.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes to ensure even baking.
- Don't overmix the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- For extra festive presentation, consider adding heart-shaped sprinkles before baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft, delicate texture.
- For an extra romantic touch, dust with additional powdered sugar just before serving.
- These cookies freeze beautifully - make a batch ahead of time and thaw when needed.
