Ingredients

  • 1 Duncan Hines Red Velvet Cake Mix (or any brand)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a large, rimmed cookie or baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and oil together until well blended. The dough will be pretty sticky.

  • Refrigerate dough for 30 minutes, then scoop the dough out by 1½ tablespoons and form into balls.
  • Pro Tip: You can use some of the powdered sugar to dust your hands with to help shape the balls also.
  • Fill a small mixing bowl with powdered sugar so you can drop the balls of cookie dough into it.
    1 cup powdered sugar
  • Roll each cookie ball in the powdered sugar, coating it generously.
  • Place the sugar coated cookie balls on the parchment covered cookie sheet about 2" apart.
  • Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set on the edges and crinkled on their surface.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Refrigerating the cookie dough for 30 minutes makes it easier to roll this sticky dough into cookie balls.
  • Dust your hands with some of the powdered sugar to help shape the chilled cookie dough into the balls.
