# What You’ll Need to Cook:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
02 -
2 large whole eggs
03 -
1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
→ Coating
04 -
1 cup powdered sugar
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, and red velvet cake mix. Stir until smooth and no large lumps remain.
02 -
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball thoroughly in powdered sugar. Place coated balls on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
03 -
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, until tops have cracked and set but centers remain soft and slightly gooey.
04 -
Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
For firmer dough and easier handling, chill dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes before shaping.
02 -
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
03 -
Avoid overbaking to maintain chewy centers; remove cookies when tops are cracked but centers remain soft.
04 -
Cool cookies on wire rack after initial rest to prevent drying.
