These Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies are soft, tender, and covered in a sweet powdered sugar coating that creates a beautiful crackled surface. Made from red velvet cake mix, they are easy to prepare and bake into delightful treats perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 box (16 ounces) Red Velvet cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 Tablespoons butter, melted

Coating

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C). Prepare two large cookie sheets by lining them with parchment paper or greasing them well with non-stick spray to prevent sticking during baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and melted butter. Using a wooden spoon, stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended. The resulting dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  3. Prepare Coating: In a smaller separate bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and cornstarch. This mixture will give the cookies their signature crackled exterior.
  4. Shape and Coat Dough: Form the cookie dough into approximately 1 1/2 inch diameter balls. Roll each ball generously in the powdered sugar and cornstarch coating until fully covered. Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
  5. Bake Cookies: Bake one cookie sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 9 to 10 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops have developed a crinkled appearance. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve these delightful red velvet crinkle cookies fresh for the best texture and flavor. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a warm beverage.

Notes

  • Make sure to space the cookies well apart on the baking sheet to prevent them from sticking together as they spread.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to set properly and retain their shape.
  • For a more intense red color, you can add a few drops of red food coloring to the dough before mixing.
  • The cookie dough may feel sticky; lightly wet or butter your hands when rolling into balls to make it easier.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
