Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix 15.25 oz
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips optional: use more for topping
Optional:
  • powdered sugar for rolling

Method
 

Preheat Oven:
  1. Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Make the Dough:
  1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick dough forms.
Add Mix-Ins:
  1. Fold in white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Shape the Cookies:
  1. Scoop 1–1½ tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Optional: Roll each ball lightly in powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
    Bake:
    1. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but centers look slightly soft.
    Cool:
    1. Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Notes

    Don’t overbake! The centers should look soft; they’ll firm up as they cool.
    Add-ins: Try semi-sweet chocolate chips or cream cheese chips for a richer flavor.
    Holiday Ready: Top with extra white chocolate chips or festive sprinkles before baking.
    Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
