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 mix-in)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. 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 into a thick dough. Do not overmix.
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 look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a crinkle cookie look, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking.
To make Kiss Cookies, press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie immediately after removing them from the oven.
If you prefer a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
