How to Make Sugar Free Cake Mix Red Velvet Cookies.

Prep time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 10-12 minutes.
Servings: 24 cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 325. Prepare your baking sheets for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper or a baking mat for a recipe such as this one.
2. Place your dry cake mix in to a large bowl and use a whisk to break up any lumps. If you are adding unsweetened cocoa mix, you can whisk that in here as well.
3. Add the oil to the mixing bowl and blend until creamy. Then add the eggs and mix until just combined.
4. For the red food coloring, start by stirring in up to a tablespoon of the food coloring and then adding a small amount as needed to reach your desired 'red' coloring of the dough. Do not add more than two tablespoons total.
5. Lastly, fold in ¾ cup of the white chocolate chips.
6. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough and then place the cookies on to your prepared baking sheets at least an inch and a half apart.
7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges appear to be set. The center will still be soft.
8. Carefully press the remaining white chocolate chips into the cookies.
9. Allow the cookies to set on the baking sheet for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

 
Expert Tip 👉 Because these cookies are red in color, you may not be able to see if the cookies have browned and are done baking. It is a good idea to check the sides of the cookies to see if they are set instead.

More helpful tips for you.

1. Refrigerating the cookie dough before baking the cookies can help make firmer and less fluffy cookies. This is an optional step however, since we are using a cake mix there is more leavening in this cookie recipe so I thought that I would put this out there for you.
2. This recipe can also be made keto low carbohydrate diet friendly. Simply use keto chocolate cake mix and keto white chocolate chips.
3. Because a cake mix is used to make these cookies it is a good idea to keep the cookies on the small side rather than making 'jumbo' sized cookies. A larger cookie will most likely baking into a small sized 'cake' rather than a large cookie.
