Create soft, chewy red velvet cookies quickly using only four simple ingredients from a boxed cake mix. These cookies are perfect for holidays or any time you need a fast, festive treat.

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)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for rolling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of red velvet cake mix, the melted butter, and the eggs. Mix with a spoon or spatula until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  3. If using, gently fold in the white chocolate chips.
  4. If you want a crinkle effect, place the powdered sugar in a shallow dish.
  5. Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons. If using powdered sugar, roll each dough ball completely in the sugar until coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For thicker, bakery-style cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping and baking.
  • If you skip the powdered sugar coating, these cookies will spread slightly more during baking.
  • You can substitute the white chocolate chips with semi-sweet chocolate chips or omit them entirely for a true 3-ingredient cookie.
