Servings: 24 Cookies

Ingredients
- 1 Box Red Velvet Cake Mix Duncan Hines, Betty Crocker, or store brand.
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cup Vegetable oil or another neutral oil
- ¼ cup Flour
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, empty the boxed cake mix and add the flour. Mix well.
- Add the eggs and oil. Mix well until a dough forms. The dough will be very stiff, so a stand mixer or hand mixer is a good option.
- With a small cookie scoop, scoop out some of the dough.
- Roll the dough ball in the powdered sugar until it is fully covered. Place the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are baked. Once the cookies are done, let them cool on a wire cooling rack.
Notes
- Canola oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, or melted butter can all be used instead of vegetable oil.
- Mix white chocolate chips into the cookie batter for a little extra sweetness.
- Instead of rolling the cookies in powdered sugar, make a cream cheese frosting! Mix together 2 ounces of cream cheese, ⅓ cup powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon of milk in a large bowl. With an electric mixer, mix until smooth and then drizzle over the chewy red velvet cookies.
- If you cannot find red velvet cake mix in the grocery stores, use a Devil's food cake and add about 10 drops of red food coloring.
