Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix thoroughly using an electric mixer or whisk until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft but not wet.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the cookies generously with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sifter for an elegant finish.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest dough consistency.
- Don't overmix the dough - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- For extra richness, slightly underbake the cookies to maintain a soft, chewy center.
- Let cookies cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar to prevent melting.
- For a decorative touch, reserve some white chocolate chips to press into the top of each cookie before baking.
- If the dough feels too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before scooping.
- Use a fine mesh sifter for an even, elegant powdered sugar coating.
- Store cookies in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their delicate texture.
