INGREDIENTS
- French Vanilla box cake mix (or cake mix of your choice)
- 1/3 cup neutral oil
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- powdered sugar to roll cookies in for crinkle texture
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until a thick dough forms. Chill the dough for about 15-30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form the dough into balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated. For a better crinkle effect, roll them twice in powdered sugar.
- Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious red velvet crinkle cookies!
NOTES
These are just typical cake mix cookies, and any flavor cake mix will do. The cake flavor in the preview image is birthday cake flavored, for example. However, there’s something special about using the French Vanilla box mix for these treats. It provides almost a cheesecake-like flavor that is our favorite. Enjoy!
