These Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies are a quick and delightful twist on classic red velvet cake, transformed into soft, chewy cookies coated in powdered sugar. Made using a boxed cake mix with a few simple ingredients, they come together effortlessly and bake into tender treats with a slight crunch on the outside and a moist, cake-like interior.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 15.25 oz. box red velvet cake mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and baking powder. Use an electric hand mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Chill Dough: Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes. This helps the dough firm up, making it easier to handle and shape.
  3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Shape Cookies: Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Then roll the dough ball in powdered sugar, shaking off any excess. Place the coated dough balls 2 to 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are slightly browned and set. The centers may appear slightly underbaked – this is ideal to keep them soft and moist.
  6. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set without breaking.
  7. Store: Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container. They will remain fresh for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the cookies to maintain their soft texture.
  • Using powdered sugar for coating adds a subtle sweetness and a beautiful cracked appearance.
  • Refrigerating the dough helps prevent spreading and makes rolling easier.
  • For extra moisture, you can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter if preferred.
  • If you don’t have an electric mixer, you can mix by hand but ensure thorough blending for best texture.
