Expert Tips

But having the same size cookies, they all will bake up the same time, and be fluffy, light and done!
Ingredients
- Red Velvet Cake Mix – Any brand of cake mix works. I used a 15.25 oz box. I love using Betty Crocker, but reach for any brand. Or buy what is on sale.
- Egg – Large eggs are what I used when making these cookies.
- Oil – Canola or vegetable oil work well for this cookie recipe. I do not recommend olive oil.
- White Chocolate Chips – The white chocolate chips add a delicious sweetness to each bite. You can use milk chocolate chip or semi-sweet chips.

FAQs
Once you shape your cookies and place on baking sheet, add a few extra white chocolate chips on top. So as the cookies bake, the white chips will show on the top. IT gives cookies an extra pretty look.
The cookies will puff up a bit and become slightly golden on the edges. Take a toothpick and stick in the center of cookie and see that no more wet batter shows on the toothpick.
You over-baked the cookies if your cookies are crunchy. The goal is to pull the cookies out before they are over-cooked. If they are crunchy you need to cook them for a shorter amount of time.
Red velvet is a mild chocolate flavor. You will find that it offers the bright red color that is well known. A red food coloring that is highly enhanced with acidic components for a bold red color.
Feel free to freeze any of the cookies you don’t plan to eat. Just freeze for 3-4 months in the freezer in an airtight container or bag. Thaw on the counter before you serve.
