Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix thoroughly using an electric mixer or whisk until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Place the blue sprinkles in a separate shallow bowl for coating the cookies.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough into the blue sprinkles, rolling to coat the entire surface of each cookie ball.
- Arrange the sprinkle-coated cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies appear slightly crackled on top.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the most consistent dough texture.
- Don't overmix the dough – stop mixing as soon as ingredients are just combined to keep cookies tender.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- For extra sparkle, roll cookies in sprinkles just before baking to ensure maximum sprinkle adhesion.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
- For best results, use fresh cake mix and check expiration dates.
- If the dough seems too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before rolling in sprinkles.
- Store in an airtight container with a piece of bread to help maintain moisture and freshness.
