Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Servings: 20 cookies

Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream, or plain yogurt
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) box red velvet cake mix
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • powdered sugar, for rolling the cookie dough

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Melt the butter in a large bowl. Whisk in the sour cream, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Add the cake mix and mix until the cookie dough comes together, then stir in the white chocolate chips.
  • Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball with the palms of your hands. Toss the dough in powdered sugar and arrange on the lined baking sheet, about 1-inch apart. Dot the tops of the dough with more white chocolate chips, if desired.
  • Bake the cookies, one baking sheet at a time, for 12-13 minutes each. Take the cookies out of the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before removing.

Notes

Store the cookies in an airtight container and keep at room temperature for 4-5 days. 
Ingredient Notes:
  • Butter: Make sure you are using unsalted butter since there is already salt in the cake mix. 
  • Cake mix: Any 15.25 ounce box of red velvet cake mix such as Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines.
