Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter very soft
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese brick-style, full-fat
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract pure
  • 1 box Red Velvet Cake Mix 18.25 ounces, sifted
  • 1 bag Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips 12 ounces

Instructions

Baking Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the very soft unsalted butter and the full-fat cream cheese. Beat them together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Beat until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually add the sifted red velvet cake mix to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Drop generous tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Cookie Scoop

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative.
  • Use a gluten-free cake mix for gluten-free cookies.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes if cookies spread too much.
