3) Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out enough red velvet cookie dough to make 1-inch dough balls. Place on large cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.

4) For a professional looking cookie, add more white chocolate chips to the top of the unbaked cookie dough balls before baking. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Place baking sheet on a wire rack to cool.

expert tips

• Use room temperature ingredients (eggs, butter, etc.)

• For best results, use high quality chocolate (I used Ghiradelli white chocolate chips.)

• Try 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste for an extra robust vanilla flavor (find it online.)

• Scoop the dough with a cookie scoop.

• Placing extra chocolate chips on the tops of the cookies before baking makes them look professional.

• Don’t overbake if you want them to be soft and chewy

• Let them cool completely before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I can’t have gluten, can I make them gluten free?

I’ve never seen a red velvet gluten free cake mix, so you probably can’t make this exact recipe gluten free. But I do have a fabulous gluten free red velvet blossom cookie recipe on my website that you could add white chocolate chips to, instead of chocolate kisses.

Can I freeze them?

Yes, you can freeze the baked cookies (after they have cooled) in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

How do I store these cookies?

Store cookies in an airtight container (at room temperature) for up to 5 days.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix, 18.25 oz/432 g
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter), 78 mL
  • 1 1/4 cups white chocolate chips, 165 g

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mat. Set aside.
  • In large bowl, place mix, eggs and oil. With electric mixer, mix on low speed until dough forms (about 1 minute).
  • Stir in 1 cup of the white chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until firm enought to shape into balls.
  • Drop rounded balls of dough, about 2 tablespoons each, onto prepared baking sheets. Using the remaining 1/4 cup of chips, stick a few more chips on top of the dough balls (I used about 4 chips per cookies).
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Do not let cookies brown. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes. They are soft at first, but firm up as they cool. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to one week (if they last that long). Or freeze for several months.

Notes

• If the batter seems too dry, you can add 1-2 tablespoons more of oil. But if the batter is too sticky, just stick the cookie dough in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm it up.
• For best results, make sure all of your ingredients in this recipe are room temperature.
• This recipe works well with other cake mix flavors. Try it with a yellow cake mix and semi-sweet chocolate chips or strawberry cake mix with white chocolate chips. You could also substitute sprinkles instead of chocolate chips.
