Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookie Ingredients
- Red velvet cake mix – One box of cake mix, not prepared. Any brand will work.
- Oil – I typically use a mild olive oil, but any vegetable oil will work.
- Eggs – Large eggs.
- Chocolate chips – We used white chocolate chips. Almond bark would also be delicious.
How do you make a red velvet cookie recipe with cake mix? (step-by-step)
⭐ First, beat together the cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
⭐ Then, roll dough into small balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Press extra white chocolate chips on top of each cookie dough ball, if desired.
⭐ Next, bake at until just cooked.
⭐ Finally, allow cookies to cool on a wire rack.
Preparation
Can you make red velvet cake mix cookies ahead of time?
Absolutely! They can be made a few days ahead of time, or if you want to make them longer, stash your cookies in the freezer.
Is it okay if my dough is sticky?
Cake mix cookie dough tends to be on the sticky side, this it totally normal. I like to use a tablespoon sized cookie scoop to easily make evenly sized dough balls.
What brand of cake mix for red velvet cake mix cookies?
Any brand of mix will work. Don’t worry if the boxes are slightly different sizes, this recipe is very forgiving!
Storage and leftovers
What’s the best way to store cake mix cookies?
The cookies should be stored in an air tight container and can remain at room temperature for about three days. Longer than that and you’ll want to store your chocolate cake mix cookies in the refrigerator or freezer.
Can you freeze red velvet cake mix cookies?
Yes, you can freeze these cookies. Allow them to cool completely, then store in an air tight, freezer safe container. Cookies can remain in the freezer for several months, after which time you run the risk of freezer burn and they will begin to deteriorate in texture and flavor.
To thaw, allow the cookies to come to room temperature and then enjoy!
Tips, tricks, and frequently asked questions
How do I make these crinkle cookies?
To make red velvet cake mix crinkle cookies, skip the white chocolate chips and instead roll the balls of dough in powdered sugar before baking. Get a nice thick coat on for a good crinkle!
Do I need to grease my cookie sheet?
These can be baked on an ungreased cookie sheet, but I prefer to bake them on a silicone baking mat so I never have to worry about sticking.
What kind of frosting for red velvet cake mix cookies?
If you want to skip the white chocolate chips and frost these instead, I highly suggest our cream cheese frosting recipe!

Kristyn says
We love these!! They are our favorite to make for any holiday where red is a specific color for that holiday. We made some for the Fourth & the whole family enjoyed them!
Sue says
Absolutely no way to roll the dough into a ball. It was just a big mess . Dough too wet to roll into a ball. Dropped by tablespoon on cookie sheet. Turned out ok. Won’t make again.
April Woods says
I’m so sorry you had this problem. The cake mix dough does tend to be a little on the sticky side, but I’ve always been able to roll them in my hands. We’ve made them many times on our live show.
Sue says
I see you only post comments that are good. You didn’t post mine that I wrote yesterday because it was negative. Why is that
April Woods says
Hi Sue – I apologize for the delay in moderating comments, I have been quarantined on a ship with my son who got sick during our family vacation, I am just now working through the comments. I’m sorry you had trouble with the recipe ❤
