Easy Red Velvet Cookies Recipe – Valentine’s Day Cookies
Here is an easy red velvet cookies recipe just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Using cake mix makes this cookie recipe easier than pie. (Seriously, I think pie is harder to make than cookies.)
If you switch up the colors of the M&M’s, the red cookies are perfect for any holiday.

Red Velvet reminds me of romance and Valentine’s Day.
The deep red color makes a perfect sweet for your sweetheart.
These easy red velvet cookies not only look like Cupid baked them up, but taste like love.
Too far? Sorry, I tend to get a little carried away when I talk about cookies.
No date? Make these cookies for yourself. No sharing — even better. 😉
Easy Red Velvet Cookies Recipe
This recipe will yield 16-18 cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1 box Red Velvet cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
- Valentine M&M’s
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350° degrees.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. This will keep the cookies from spreading into each other.
- In a mixing bowl, add the cake mix, baking powder, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips.
- Add the Valentine M&M’s and stir to distribute throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie dough scoop, transfer the dough onto the baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes only. (FYI – If you leave the cookies in longer than 10 minutes, the white chocolate chips begin to brown and the M&M’s start to crack)
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to completely cool.
- ENJOY!
