Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies.

A few years ago I had a client that would bring me these red velvet cookies. They were so good and we’re usually gone before I left the gym for the day.




While I do have a ‘from scratch’ recipe for red velvet cake, I wasn’t sure how it would turn into cookies. So I went with this one. Admittedly, after baking from scratch all weekend, I was relieved to use a box mix. I was exhausted!



Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

The additions are simply eggs, vanilla and oil. It is so easy to make!

I love how pretty the red dough looks. It also dies your hands red. And your teeth. Not that I’d know about that…

It gets even better with the chocolate chips added in.

The mix is very doughy, so it is easy to roll them into balls.

Look how gorgeous. I love the red color. And for those of you who were asking – these do not have a cake-like texture. It is more of a chewy chocolate chip cookie. Drool.

If it is even possible, they can be made better with some with cream cheese frosting.

Red Velvet Chocolate Chips Cookies

1 box Red Velvet cake mix

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3/4 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.

In an electric mixing bowl, combine cake mix, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until a dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips. Roll into balls and bake at 350 for 8 minutes.

Makes about 24 cookies.

You have to make these now. And if you do, feel free to send me some. They have somehow disappeared.




Check out what I’ve made for the holidays so far. :)

    There’s a hotel I used to stay at in New Orleans that served complimentary red velvet cupcakes each AM. It was lovely — if only they’d be vegan! Yours look awesome.

    I am on the hunt for Red Velvet cake mix so I can make these cookies for my holiday party on Thursday. I tried Star Market and they were out…so I am sending the boyfriend to Shaws on his way home from work. Can’t wait to taste test! :)

  25. # Nicoleon 14 Dec 2009 at 2:21 pm

    LOVE these cookies. Surprisingly with all the desserts I have tried, I have never had red velvet cake. I just finished baking a ton too and still have a couple more to go…it’s fun but exhausting!

  26. # Amy J in SCon 14 Dec 2009 at 2:27 pm

    Oh, this shouldn’t even be allowed! Oh my goodness – they look so yum.

  27. # Lisaon 14 Dec 2009 at 3:19 pm

    Mmmm…these look good!

    Whatever– box mixes can be great when you need them! I say, use whatever works! :-)

    Obviously the quality of these cookies was not compromised :-)

  31. # Allie (Live Laugh Eat)on 14 Dec 2009 at 6:29 pm

    I LOVE red velvet cake (almost as much as I love carrot cake hehe). I could totally go for one of those iced fluffy cookies. Mmmm!

  32. # Light Delight with TouTouon 14 Dec 2009 at 6:29 pm

    I got the same box !!
    these red velvet cakes have been my love for a long time. I am just addicted to the red color! the cookie’s color is fabulous!!

  33. # monicaonthego.comon 14 Dec 2009 at 6:31 pm

  34. # Laurenon 14 Dec 2009 at 6:37 pm

  35. # Jennaon 14 Dec 2009 at 7:12 pm

    Cake mix cookies are THE BEST! I have never thought of using a Red Velvet mix though. Fabulous idea. I’ll have to give these a try!

  36. # Tammy @ Defining Wellnesson 14 Dec 2009 at 7:59 pm

    I just had red velvet cookies recently for the first time — fantastic! And I had no idea they were so easy to make — thanks for the recipe!

  37. # Caitlin@TheTwentyFifthYEaron 14 Dec 2009 at 8:14 pm

    I don’t think I have ever had red velvet cake?

    *hiding*

    Let me know when it’s safe to come out in Foodie World again : )

    …sooo deprived…

  38. # Gelareh @ Orange Truffleon 14 Dec 2009 at 8:43 pm

    oh they look good. I have a box sitting in my pantry. I should make them next week at my in-laws for Christmas. Red Velvet cake is my mother-in-laws favorite.. I can score some brownie points ;)

  39. # Allisonon 14 Dec 2009 at 10:23 pm

    Perfect timing for this recipe! I have a cookie party tomorrow, and I am making these right now. My first batch of snickerdoodles didn’t come out great, so these will be my substitute.

  40. # Jess (Fit Chick in the City)on 15 Dec 2009 at 5:39 am

    I’ve never thought of red velvet cookies before. Great idea!

  41. # CCVon 15 Dec 2009 at 7:06 am

    Woah, I want to try and make a vegan version now. They look so good!

    WOW what a great idea!!

  43. # meganon 15 Dec 2009 at 9:50 am

    These look so good! I don’t normally like red velvet cake at all, but if these have the texture of a cookie, I might be a fan! especially with the icing :)
