Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies
We’re using a box of red velvet cake mix – the classic mixture of cocoa powder, vinegar, and buttermilk that turn a cake deep, dark red. It is an alluring, delicious cake that tastes like cocoa, and is lightly tart – making it perfect for cookies that are completely irresistible, especially when loaded with tons of white chocolate chips!
These cookies use oil instead of butter for a light, chewy flavor that has a perfect soft cookie bite – for a similar recipe, but loaded with melted gooey butter, please visit our Gooey Butter Red Velvet Cake Cookies.
This recipe has a different texture, lift, and bite because the oil acts differently than butter – it will give us a chewier cookie with a crisper base.
We hope you love these easy cake mix cookies as much as we do!
