Ingredients

1 18 oz box red velvet cake mix*
⅔ cup unsalted butter melted
2 large eggs
a few drops red food coloring optional*
¾ cup white chocolate chips

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees & line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, melted butter & eggs until smooth.
Optionally, beat in the food coloring for a more vivid red color.
Mix in the chocolate chips. I like to reserve a couple tablespoons for placing on top of each cookie.
Form into balls about 1 - 1.5 tablespoons in size and place 2 inches apart on a lined cookie sheet. I use a cookie scoop for this.
Optionally dot the top of each cookie with a few extra chocolate chips.
Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until the tops look set.
Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Notes

Do not prepare the cake mix as directed on the box.
If your box of cake mix is 15oz, I recommend using ⅓ cup melted butter instead.
Using red food coloring will give the cookies a more vivid red color. I used a few drops of red food coloring for the cookies photographed.
