Recipe Notes
- Some people refer to this as red velvet cookie cake mix. The 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. ? YUM.
- If the cookie dough/cake batter is too sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then it should be good to go!

How much vegetable oil Please? I’m old & so are my eyes!!:) Thank you!!
I’ve been using basically this same recipe for 20+ years to make chocolate chip cookies, but i use yellow cake mix and chocolate chips (instead of red velvet and white chocolate chips)… i use a stick of melted butter, so that’s, what, 4oz? i’ve made it with two eggs, one egg, and once i forgot to put an egg in altogether and even those turned out ok, a little crumbly but ok.

Hey! you should be able to hit the print button to the right of the recipe title at the bottom of the post and print it out – it will be larger then 🙂 It is 1/2 of a cup. thanks!
I usually don’t like to make cookies, but this recipe is so easy, with so few ingredients, I am going to give this one a try this Thanksgiving. Thanks, Christy, another time saving recipe.
I have been following you for several years now. I just love your recipes. My granddaughter loves to cook and bake with her Nana. Thank you for having such simple easy recipes that my granddaughter can basically fix herself.
Christy… The cookies look real yummy. Are they soft and chewy or crispy? My family has a preference; they’re so darn picky. 🙂
Could i use parchment paper? Or not necesary
It makes cleanup easier but you don’t *have* to 🙂 If I had it in abundance I’d probably use it.
Love easy recipes like this one and agree 100% with your comments on math problems.
These cookies look tasty. The REAL treat is that this is the funniest recipe I have ever read. I laughed out loud – and agreed with every word!! Thanks for a two-fer. A great recipe and a great read.
Yes, a math explanation I can understand and agree with! Just keep those tick marks. That’s what I do. And why I don’t help my son with math homework — that’s his math whiz dad’s job.
Plus, cookies as a math reward! Can’t wait to try these.
