Main Ingredients
- 15.25 ounce box red velvet cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whipped cream cheese spread
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 half sheet baking pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix dough: Use a stand or hand mixer to beat together the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and whipped cream cheese spread in a large mixing bowl for 1-2 minutes until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Prepare powdered sugar coating: Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl to coat the cookie dough balls.
- Scoop and coat dough: With a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, drop balls of dough directly into the powdered sugar, coat thoroughly, and then roll into even balls.
- Arrange and bake: Place the coated cookie dough balls 1-2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 11 minutes or until edges are set but centers still soft.
- Cool and serve: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing without lumps.
- Roll cookies generously in powdered sugar for bold, attractive crinkles on the surface.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure all cookies are uniform in size for even baking.
- Do not overbake; cookies should remain soft in the center for the best texture.
- Store cookies at room temperature for 3-5 days, covering if longer than one day to prevent drying out.
- Reheat cookies in the microwave for a few seconds to soften and refresh the texture.
- Freeze baked cookies in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months; thaw before eating.
- Dough can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, chilled and covered tightly, then rolled in powdered sugar right before baking.
