Red Velvet Cake Mix Crinkle Cookies Recipe From Val's Kitchen

You’ve probably noticed by now that I like products that save me time and energy. There are times when I like to cook from scratch, but then again there are times where there simply aren’t enough hours in the day and I look for ways to save time where I can. Take cake mix, for example. It’s great for a lot of other things besides cake. Here’s a simple recipe calling for only 4 ingredients that turns cake mix into soft and chewy crinkle cookies. These cookies would be great for a Valentine’s Day gathering. Here’s how I make them.

Red Velvet Cake Mix Crinkle Cookies

The recipe makes 18-24 cookies, depending on how large you make the cookies. My batch made 18 nice sized cookies.

Ingredients

  • 16.5 oz box of red velvet cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup oil (I used vegetable)
  • 1/4 cup of powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 f.

Place cake mix, eggs and oil in a mixing bowl and combine thoroughly.

Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Place the powered sugar into a smaller bowl.

Form balls with the dough. (I sometimes use a cookie dough scoop or an ice cream scoop, or if I can’t get that quickly I have also used a plastic medicine cup.)

Place each ball into the powdered sugar and rotate to coat completely.

Place the balls onto the cookie sheet.

Bake for 10-11 minutes.

Let sit on the cooling rack for a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy!

How much butter would I use instead of oil?

I am not sure as I haven't tried making them that way.

I keep seeing cookies made from cake mix - such a creative idea. I've never tried it before, but the cookies always look so delicious. Love the white confectioners sugar against the bright red cookies!

I usually bake from scratch but I admit there are time when cake mixes are life-savers! I love Duncan Hines when I use a mix so I am sure these crinkle cookies would be fabulously delightful!

This is so simple to make and love the gorgeous color of the cookies. With two young boys in the house, I would love to save some time making cookies like this. This would be great for the V-day party in my munchkins school this week.
