Delightfully soft and chewy Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies coated in powdered sugar, perfect for a quick and easy dessert that combines the classic red velvet flavor with the convenience of a cake mix in cookie form.

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, combine 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 firm it up and make it easier to handle.
  3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with a silicone baking 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 thoroughly in the powdered sugar, shaking off any excess sugar. Place the cookies 2-3 inches apart on the baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
  5. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned and the cookies are set. The centers may still look slightly underbaked; do not overbake to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
  6. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Store: Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • Do not overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the center for the best texture.
  • Rolling dough balls in powdered sugar adds a nice crackled look and a sweet coating.
  • Refrigerating the dough helps prevent spreading and makes the dough easier to handle.
  • Use room temperature eggs for easier mixing and better dough consistency.
  • These cookies freeze well; store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months.
