Recipe Notes

  • Some people refer to this as red velvet cookie cake mix. The Duncan Hines cake mix pictured is the same and this recipe works with any cake mix. I especially like chocolate and red velvet.
  • Instead of white chocolate chips, you can use semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips instead.
  • Adapt this recipe to make any kind of cookies. For example, use a chocolate cake mix and white chocolate chips, or a vanilla cake mix with sprinkles.
  • Another option is to roll the cookie dough balls in granulated sugar or powdered sugar before baking.
  • Make a red velvet cookie sandwich by adding our homemade cream cheese frosting between two cookies. Red velvet sandwich cookies? YUM.
  • If the cookie dough/cake batter is too sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then it should be good to go!
