Red Velvet Cookie Ingredients
This red velvet cookie recipe only has 4 ingredients! Perfect to keep on hand for whipping up a super easy and tasty treat for the kids or the grandkids!
- 13.25 oz Red Velvet Cake Mix: This provides our base, a shortcut to getting that amazing red velvet flavor!
- 8 oz Whipped Topping: It makes the cookies light and fluffy, offering a delightful texture unlike any other.
- 1 Egg: It binds our ingredients, making sure they mix together perfectly during the baking process.
- ½ – ¾ cup Powdered Sugar: Rolling the dough in this sweet powder not only adds a subtle sweetness but also gives our cookies a stunning snow-kissed look.
Tools Needed
- Large Bowl: Needed for mixing our ingredients into a uniform dough.
- Silicone Spoon: This helps for a gentle yet effective folding of the mix, preserving the air in the whipped topping.
- Cookie Scoop: Guarantees uniform size cookies for even baking.
- Small Bowl or Plate: Used for the powdered sugar dusting process.
- Parchment Paper & Baking Sheet: A non-stick surface for baking our cookies to perfection.
- Cookie Spatula & Wire Cooling Rack: Essential for handling our creations post-baking and ensuring they cool properly, maintaining their delightful crisp edges and soft centers.
Cooking Time and Temperature
These cookies should be cooked at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes depending on whether like crispier or softer cookies!
Every oven has its quirks, so try and see if they are cooked periodically or make a small batch to start and then do the remainder when you know what you like!
Storing Your Red Velvet Cookies
After your cookies have cooled completely (they could get a little mushy if you don't wait for them to cool completely), you will want to store them in an airtight container.
They can remain yummy for up to a week if stored properly.
