These Red Velvet Sheet Cake Cookies, often known as Crinkle Cookies, are incredibly easy to make using a box of cake mix. They result in soft, chewy, vibrant red cookies with a beautiful powdered sugar crackle on top. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, or any time you crave red velvet without the hassle of making a whole cake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and a thick dough forms.
- Scoop the dough and form into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball generously in the powdered sugar to coat completely.
- Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are puffed and the signature crinkles have formed.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before forming the balls.
- Do not overbake these cookies; they should be soft in the center when removed from the oven.
- For a more homemade taste, ensure you use a high-quality vanilla extract.
