Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies Recipe
Meet your new favorite cookie recipe. These Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies are pretty to look at, and they taste even better! You only need five ingredients to make perfect chewy cookies with a deep red hue.
Ingredients
- 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix 15.25 oz
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Red, White, and Blue M&M’s
- ½ cup granulated sugar for coating cookie dough
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, add the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs and beat until combined.
-
Fold in half of the M&M’s.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for one hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 Tablespoons) to portion out the dough and gently roll into balls.
-
Roll the balls in the granulated sugar to coat. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheet at least 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 8 to 9 minutes. Do not over bake these cookies, they will look puffy and slightly underdone, but they will finish cooking on the baking sheet after coming out of the oven.
-
Press the M&M’s into the tops of the cookies immediately after they come out of the oven. Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Avoid baking the cookies for too long. The cookies will look soft and underdone at the end of baking time. They’ll continue cooking after you take them out of the oven.
- Make sure to chill the dough. Before chilling, the dough will be too soft to work with. Avoid chilling the dough longer than one hour.
- Store in an airtight container. These cookies stay good for about 1 week. But chances are good you’ll eat them all well before then!
- Freeze Cookies. Store baked cookies in airtight container for up to three months. Or use my guide on how to freeze cookie dough for best results.
