Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 box Red velvet cake mix Provides flavor and structure.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda Helps cookies rise slightly for a soft center.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil Adds moisture and keeps cookies tender.
  • 2 large Eggs Bind the dough and give lift.
  • 1 cup Cool Whip Lightens the dough and keeps cookies soft.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds depth to the red velvet flavor.
For Dusting
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar For a sweet dusting after baking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until no streaks of dry mix remain.
  3. Gently fold the Cool Whip into the batter until blended, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Use a cookie scoop to drop rounded dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly for room to spread.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges feel set and centers look slightly soft. Rotate the pan halfway through if needed.
  2. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack and dust with powdered sugar.
Serving
  1. Enjoy warm or cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat briefly for a fresh-baked feel.
