Ingredients

15.25 oz (432 g) box Red Velvet Cake Mix
2 large eggs
6 Tbsp oil, (canola or vegetable)
1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula until the dough comes together. (The dough will be very thick.)
Add white chocolate chips and fold into the dough. You can use your hands, if needed. (NOTE: The white chocolate chips don’t really mix into the dough, but make sure they are distributed evenly.)
Use a #30 cookie scoop (about 2 Tablespoons) to spoon the cookie dough into a ball. Then round it with your hands and place onto the prepared baking sheet about 3-inches apart. (8-9 cookies per tray.)
Bake at 350˚F for 9-10 minutes until the cookies are puffy and matte, have spread some, and are starting to crack. Cool on pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To Store: These red velvet white chocolate chip cookies may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
To Freeze Cookie Dough: Scoop cookie dough balls onto a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet. Set in the freezer for 1-2 hours until firm. Then transfer frozen dough balls into a freezer-safe zip-top bag and freeze for up to 3 months. (NOTE: You will need to bake cookies roughly 1-2 minutes longer, if baking from frozen.)
To Freeze Baked Cookies: Place completely cool cookies in a freezer safe bag or container with parchment paper in-between layers. To thaw, place them on your counter and let them come to room temperature or nuke a single cookie for 10 seconds or so in the microwave.
Cake Mix Sizes: Boxes of cake mix keep shrinking over the years. This recipe is made with a 15.25 oz box (432 g) of cake mix. Try your best to use this size. If you need to add additional flour to make up for a smaller box, add it by weight using a kitchen scale.
Round the dough with your hands. I tested this twice and they looked much better having used my warm hands to smooth out the dough balls before baking them.
