Ingredients

- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips plus extra white chocolate chips for dotting on top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F and line an insulated baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine dry cake mix, oil, and eggs in a large bowl. Mix on medium-low for 2 minutes, dough will begin to stiffen.1 box red velvet cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the white chocolate chips.1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill dough for 30 minutes.We chill the dough before baking because cake mix cookie dough is very sticky. It’s easier to handle when chilled.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. If you like, now is the time to dot the tops of the cookies with additional white chocolate chips, 2-4 per cookie works great.
- Bake 9-12 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Move cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Cake mix manufacturers have adjusted their weights, some boxes weighing 13 ounces and others up to 16 ounces. Any standard red velvet cake mix between 13 and 16 ounces will work. You will only need the dry mix, not the additional ingredients on the back of the box.
- A bag of white chocolate chips is 12 oz. You will use 10 oz in the cookies and can use the remainder of the bag on top before baking.
- Milk, semi-sweet, or bittersweet are all great options if you aren't a fan of white chocolate.
- We use most of the chocolate chips inside the cookie dough and save the rest to dot on top before the cookies go in the oven. This is strictly for appearances and is totally optional. In fact, you can stir the entire bag into the cookie dough if you like. These are very sweet cookies, so adding the rest of the chips will make them even sweeter!
