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, for 5th ingredient)
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 until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
If you are using white chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough now.
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 festive crinkle cookie look, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking.
For extra soft cookies, slightly underbake them by one minute. They will firm up as they cool.
If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute the melted butter with 1/2 cup of melted cream cheese.
