Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) red velvet cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup (79 milliliters) vegetable oil
Flavor Enhancers:
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) vanilla extract
- ¾ cup (135 grams) red and white M&M candies
- ½ cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips
Decorative Elements:
- ¾ cup (135 grams) red and white M&M candies
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring a non-stick surface for effortless cookie removal.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, merge the red velvet cake mix with eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, stirring until a uniform, cohesive dough emerges.
- Tenderly incorporate M&M candies and white chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Utilize a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion uniform dollops of dough onto the lined baking sheet, maintaining approximately two inches of separation between each cookie.
- Position the cookie-laden sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for a set exterior while preserving a delicate, soft center.
- Once baked, extract the sheet from the oven and allow cookies to rest for five minutes, enabling initial stabilization.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack, permitting them to reach complete room temperature and achieve optimal texture.
Notes
- Ensure cake mix is fresh and not expired for optimal texture and flavor.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- Substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer, more decadent taste that enhances the red velvet profile.
- For gluten-free version, use a gluten-free red velvet cake mix and verify all add-ins are gluten-free certified.
