Red Velvet Heart Cake Mix Cookies
Soft cake mix red velvet cookies with sanding sprinkles and a festive white chocolate heart on top!
Ingredients
Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies
- 15.25oz Box Red Velvet Cake Mix I used Duncan Hines, but anything similar should be fine
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1-2 cups red sanding sugar
- 20 unwrapped white chocolate heart candy I used Hersheys cookies and cream hearts (with pink bits in them!)
Instructions
For the cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, prep a cookie sheet with a sheet of parchment paper or nonslip mat, then set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until combined, about 45 seconds.
- Pour the red sanding sugar onto a plate or small bowl, then scoop the cookie dough (about 1" scoop) into a ball, then roll it into the red sanding sugar. Place the cookie onto the prepped cookie sheet about 2 inches apart, and repeat.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, remove from the oven, add to a cooling rack, then immediately place on the white chocolate heart. The heat from the cookies should melt the bottom of the heart into the cookie. Let cool for about 20 minutes to set the white chocolate. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
