Place your red velvet cookie dough balls onto your prepared baking sheets several inches apart. Use a cookie scoop (the greatest baking invention EVER) to portion dough into 1-inch balls. Now, in a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix (the only dry ingredient!), melted butter, and eggs and mix until smooth. Next, line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking sheets or parchment paper (these cookies can be very sticky… putting them straight on the cookie sheet will result in a mess that nobody wants to deal with!) Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F. Nobody wants a melted cream cheese mess on their red velvet cookies!

This is my favorite part of anything red velvet, especially red velvet cake mix cookies! The most defining feature of a red velvet dessert (aside from the red color!) is that in order to be truly considered a red velvet recipe, the dessert needs to have cream cheese frosting. Today, however, that beautiful bright red color is achieved through plenty of red food coloring. Interestingly enough, red velvet originally got a slightly red coloring from a chemical reaction between the cocoa powder and the buttermilk used in the recipe. While the deep red color of red velvet cookies might throw you off, they are in fact, chocolate in flavor (they are not cherry cookies as my son originally thought!). Red velvet cookie dough is semi-homemade (you use a red velvet cake mix as your base… yes, that’s right, a CAKE mix!) so it is super easy, super quick, and the ideal cookie recipe for busy moms on the go!
