Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 1 box Red velvet cake mix standard size (15–16 oz)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable oil or other neutral oil
  • Powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine red velvet cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  • Use a cookie scoop to form dough balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  • Place the balls on the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. Gently press down to flatten slightly.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are just set. Let cool for 2 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, use a cookie scoop for even sizing. Chill the dough for 20 minutes if it feels sticky. Generously roll in powdered sugar for dramatic crinkles. Avoid overbaking to keep the centers soft.
