Servings: 20
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and cake mix to the butter. Mix until there are no streaks of dry cake mix. The mixture will be very thick.
- Add the powdered sugar to a plate.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out the cookies onto the plate with powdered sugar. (I used a #40 cookie scoop which is about 1.6 tablespoons.). Do not try to roll the dough into a ball first. It is too sticky. Use your fingers to roll in the sugar and then pick up the dough and roll into a ball.
- Place the cookie dough balls on the cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake in preheated oven for 11-13 minutes. They will still seem soft to the touch but will firm on the cookie sheet. I baked mine for 12 minutes.
- Cool cookies completely before storing. The cookies will keep in a airtight container for 2-3 days. Or you can freeze cookies for up to 3 months.
