Our Favorite Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies.
You just need 4 ingredients:
- red velvet cake mix
- eggs
- oil
- powdered sugar
That is it! These cookies are easy to make and they taste great!
How to make red velvet cookies recipe:
Mix everything (except for the powdered sugar) into the a large bowl. Get the kids involved! My daughter loves these cookies so she did most of it herself.
The Batter will come out really thick, but that is ok. I had to help my princess, because it gets hard to mix towards the end.
Next you are going to use a cookie scoop to scoop up perfectly round red velvet bites and roll them in powered sugar. I highly recommend using a cookie scoop.
We have also chilled the dough to make scooping easier.
You will thank me later because it saves so much time on spooning out the cookies. Plus, they are not expensive. Amazon has some cookie scoops for very cheap.
I bought the three pack, so I can use the smaller two for cookies and then the bigger one to fill up cupcakes. 
They will get lots of use and you will be glad you bought them.
This was definitely my daughter’s favorite part – how can you not love playing in powdered sugar?
Place them on a cookies sheet about 2 inches a part. I love to use these baking liners to bake my cookies – they are awesome and your cookies turn out perfect every time.
Slightly flatten each cookie with a cup. You can make them as thin as you want, but we just did a little, so they would still plump up nicely. Bake.
It takes less than 10 minutes until these cookies become these beautiful crinkle red velvet cookies. Cool on a wire rack. Aren’t they just gorgeous?
You will make about 24-36 cookies depending on how big your cookies are. We made 30 with our small cookies scoop.
Now you know how to Make Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies Recipe!
Aren’t these red velvet Christmas cookies just beautiful? I could eat them all! No seriously, I could. 😉
But seriously, make these these red velvet cookies any time of the year. They are also so pretty for Valentine’s Day!

Red Velvet cake takes awhile to make but you can enjoy cookies using boxed cake mix in minutes! From start to finish and even clean up, you need less than 30 minutes to make these soft and chewy cookies.
More ideas for delicious red velvet cookies:
Feel free to experiment with the cookies and add chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and more! The white chocolate chips especially look pretty with the red color.
You can add in 1/3 cup of white chocolate chips – or you could top with a cream cheese frosting.
Another idea is to roll the cookies in white sugar instead of powdered sugar. This really makes the red food coloring pop and look so vibrant.
I love these cookies because the cake mix makes them so very easy. No need to fool with lots of ingredients when you can make these easy cookies!

Lavona says
Why is my dough not thick it’s more like cake dough how do I get it to thicken? Does not look like the pictures at all
Carrie says
I’m not sure – make sure you only add 2 eggs and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Do NOT add the the ingredients to make the cake based on the back of the cake mix.
Harlow Monroe says
Hi! ??
Can I use margarine or this vegetable oil spread stuff, Instead of oil? I don’t have any. 🙁 Fingers crossed that I can, I’m feenin’ for these bad boys.?
Carrie says
You can use the margarine instead of the oil in the recipe. I would melted it and measure it in its melted form. I would not use the vegetable spread as I don’t believe that it’s recommend to be used in baking but I haven’t had much experience with it yet either.
Lennelle says
I decided to try these because I had one box of cake mix and my daughter asked for dessert. I had her mix it and help make these delicious cookies you can have anytime. They are so easy and simple to make. These are my go to when I need a quick dessert.
