Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 15.25 ounce box red velvet cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whipped cream cheese spread
Coating
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 half sheet baking pans with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dough: Use a stand or hand mixer to beat together the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and whipped cream cheese spread in a large mixing bowl for 1-2 minutes or until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Prepare Powdered Sugar: Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl, ready for coating the cookie dough balls.
- Form Cookies: Using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, drop balls of the dough directly into the powdered sugar, coat thoroughly, and then roll into an even ball.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the cookies about 1-2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets and bake for 11 minutes or until the edges are set but the middle remains soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 3-5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or serving warm.
Notes
- Store cookies at room temperature for 3-5 days; cover if storing longer than one day to prevent drying.
- Reheat cookies in the microwave for a few seconds to soften and refresh the texture.
- Freeze cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw before eating; cookies may firm up slightly after freezing.
- Dough can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Chill and cover tightly, then roll in powdered sugar just before baking.
- Use room temperature cream cheese spread to ensure smooth mixing.
- Roll cookies generously in powdered sugar for bold, crinkly textures.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center.
