If you’re craving something sweet or want to treat your sweetie to something delicious for Valentine’s Day, look no further than this Red Velvet Cookies recipe! It uses Red Velvet cake mix to make rich, delicious cookies you can easily gift or enjoy.
Red Velvet Cookies
Ingredients:
1 box red velvet cake mix
2 tablespoons flour
2 large eggs at room temp
1/2 cup coconut or canola oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1-2 cups of quality white chocolate for the top
Directions:
1. In the bowl of your mixer, quickly combine the flour and dry cake mix.
2. Add in the room temp eggs, oil and pure vanilla extract.
3. Turn the mixer onto medium for 1-3 minutes or until you have a smooth consistency.
4. Remove and place the balled up dough into tight plastic wrap, chill for 2 hours.
5. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Form balls with the dough that are about 1.5 inches around, bake for 10-14 minutes. {All ovens cook differently, so keep a close eye on the first batch to get a better idea for how long the following trays will take.}
7. Cool completely on racks.
8. When all of the cookies are done and cooled, start to melt your white chocolate. Follow the package instructions- the microwave method is fine.
9. With the cookies still on the wire cooling racks, drizzle each cookie with the white chocolate. Using a large fork will help this process go faster {because of the number of prongs}.
10. Let the white chocolate fully set before storing.

Starting with a cake mix is a time-saver, as is using oil instead of waiting for butter to soften. Thanks for the recipe!
