Cake Mix Cookies with Butter

If you’ve ever heard of “gooey butter cake” the texture of this cookie is very similar. It has an ooey-gooey center with a SLIGHT “crisp” on the outside!

I can’t help but think it’s the butter that gives this cookie the texture that leaves so many asking, “What are those things!?” each time that I make them for a Christmas party!

Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies

Although I may refer to these as “cake mix cookies” they’re also sometimes called “crinkle cookies”. They’re called that because the cookies puff up while baking and develop little “crinkles” or “cracks” in the tops.

But no fear… once cooled, the cookies stay together and do not crumble!

How to Make Red Velvet Cookies with a Cake Mix

First, preheat your oven to 350° degrees and make sure your butter and cream cheese is softened.

Next, in a mixing bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and softened butter with a mixer.

Then, add in the egg and vanilla and mix until evenly combined.

Pour in the cake mix and (don’t worry if your red velvet cake mix looks brown… that’s normal. It will turn red when mixed).

Mix together until evenly combined.

Note: This red velvet cake mix can stain the heck out of what you’re wearing if it gets on you, so make sure to wear your apron!

Pour powdered sugar in a small dish.

Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, scoop a spoonful of cookie dough and use your hands to roll the dough in to a ball.

Coat each cookie dough ball in powdered sugar and place them at least 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet that’s covered in parchment paper. (Or greased cookie sheet.)

Bake the cookies at 350° for 12 minutes.

Remove the cookies from the cookie sheet and place on a cooling rack to allow them to fully cool.

The ooey gooey center is AMAZING when eaten warm but I have to say… they’re still gooey in the middle when fully cooled and stay soft and delicious up to a few days after baking too!
