In the last few years I have discovered a whole new world using cake mixes to make cookies. My first thought after I got over the ease of using a cake mix was “why didn’t I find this out years ago when my girls were young?!” Think about it, a cake mix has all of the dry ingredients in it as you would use for making cookies from scratch. Just add the eggs and liquid (in lesser amounts) and you’ve got a cookie dough batter. I love making cookies from scratch but sometimes you want cookies just a bit faster!

How to Make Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies:
Ingredients
- 1 box Duncan Hines Red Velvet cake mix
- 6 tbsp butter melted OR 6 tbsp oil
- 2 eggs
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick spray.
- Pour cake mix into a medium bowl, add eggs and melted butter - mix till combined. I used a wooden spoon but you can use a hand mixer as well.
- Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and roll each ball into the powdered sugar. Place onto cookie sheet and bake about 11 - 12 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheet and then remove to wire cooling rack.
- Note: the cookies will spread out while baking so need to flatten the dough balls.
