These Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies are super fluffy, incredibly soft, and only require 6 ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.
I’m not going to lie, I am not a cookie person. I normally don’t make them a lot because I can never get that PERFECT consistency. My husband loves them crispy, I like them soft and chewy, and my kids will eat anything with sugar in it.
But, these Red Velvet Cookies were the easiest cookies I have ever made. They are so soft and so quick and easy to whip up.
What Ingredients Do You Need To Make Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies?

Shopping List
Red Velvet Cake Mix: Any brand should work just fine, but I find that the name brands like Pillsbury or Duncan Hines have the best flavor.
Vegetable Oil
Eggs
Vanilla Extract
Baking Powder: While the cake mix already has a rising agent in it, I decided to play around and add a touch more to see what would happen. The results were a super fluffy and soft cookie. So if you want your cookies less fluffy, leave this ingredient out.
Powdered Sugar: To roll your cookies in for that beautiful crinkled look.
