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 2 half sheet baking pans with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, use a stand or hand mixer to beat the cake mix, eggs, and whipped cream cheese spread together for 1-2 minutes until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Prepare Sugar Coating: Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow bowl to use for coating the cookie dough balls.
- Scoop and Roll Cookies: Using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, drop balls of dough into the powdered sugar, coat them well, and then roll into even balls.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the coated cookie dough balls about 1-2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 11 minutes or until the edges are set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or serving warm.
Notes
- Store cookies at room temperature for 3-5 days, covering if stored longer than one day to prevent drying.
- Reheat cookies in the microwave for a few seconds to soften and refresh their taste.
- Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before eating; cookies may firm up slightly.
- Make dough up to 24 hours in advance; keep chilled and covered tightly, rolling in powdered sugar just before baking.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing.
- Roll cookies generously in powdered sugar for bold crinkle effect.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie size to ensure even baking.
- Do not overbake; cookies should remain soft in the middle.
