Main Ingredients
- 15.25 ounce box red velvet cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whipped cream cheese spread
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two half sheet baking pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, use a stand or hand mixer to beat together the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and whipped cream cheese spread for 1-2 minutes until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Prepare Sugar Coating: Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow bowl, ready to coat the cookie dough balls.
- Form Cookies: Using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, drop balls of dough into the powdered sugar, coating them thoroughly, then roll into even balls for consistent size.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the coated cookie balls about 1-2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 11 minutes or until the edges are set.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use room temperature whipped cream cheese spread so it blends smoothly into the dough.
- Roll the cookies generously in powdered sugar for bold, pretty crinkles on the surface.
- Use a cookie scoop to create evenly sized cookies for even baking.
- Do not overbake; cookies should remain soft in the middle for the best texture.
- Store cookies at room temperature for up to 5 days covered to prevent drying.
- Reheat cookies briefly in the microwave to soften before serving.
- Freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container and thaw before eating.
- Dough can be made up to 24 hours in advance; keep chilled and covered, then roll in powdered sugar just before baking.
