Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 15.25 oz. box red velvet cake mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Coating

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and baking powder. Use an electric hand mixer to blend the ingredients until the dough is well combined and smooth.
  2. Chill Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to make it easier to handle and shape.
  3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Form Cookies: Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll each ball generously in powdered sugar, shaking off the excess. Place the coated dough balls 2-3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are slightly browned and set along the edges. The centers may look a bit underdone when removed from the oven, which is ideal for a soft texture.
  6. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Store: Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the cookies to maintain their soft and chewy texture.
  • Rolling the dough balls in powdered sugar gives the cookies a sweet, slightly crunchy exterior.
  • Chilling the dough helps in handling and prevents the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  • These cookies can be easily doubled for larger batches.
