Ingredients
Scale
1 box (15.25 oz) Red Velvet Cake Mix
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 cup white chocolate chips (optional addition)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of red velvet cake mix, the melted butter, and the eggs. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
If using, gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers should still look slightly soft for a chewy texture.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a festive look, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking to create a crinkle effect.
If you want a richer, fudgier cookie, substitute the butter with 1/2 cup of melted cream cheese.
These cookies are excellent for Valentine Day cookie recipes or Christmas cookie hacks because of their vibrant color.
