Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for extra coating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms.
    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  2. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  3. Prepare the Coating:
    • In a shallow bowl, mix the powdered sugar and cornstarch (if using).
  4. Shape and Coat the Cookies:
    • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled dough and roll them into balls.
    • Generously roll each ball in the powdered sugar mixture until fully coated.
  5. Bake:
    • Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops have a beautiful crackle appearance.
    • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    • These cookies are perfect on their own or paired with a glass of milk.

Notes

  • Refrigerating the dough helps make the cookies easier to shape and ensures they hold their shape better when baking.
  • For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to the dough.
  • These cookies make a great gift for holidays or a special occasion.
