How to Make Red Velvet Valentines Cake Mix Cookies

Prep

Get started by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Dough

Next, in a large mixing bowl, pour in the dry cake mix. Then, add in the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Use a hand mixer to combine well.

Scoop and Bake

Proceed to use a large cookie scoop and scoop the dough into balls, placing them onto a parchment-lined baking sheet as you go.

Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown in color.

Once the cookies come out of the oven, they will be fluffy and look like a ball. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the cookies to help flatten them a bit.

Allow the cookies to cool for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the icing.

Icing

Start by creaming the butter and cream cheese together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.

Next, add in the vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream, mix until fully incorporated.

Lastly, add in the powdered sugar, ¼ cup at a time. Mix until well combined and the icing is a thick but creamy consistency.

Decorate

Once the icing is fully mixed, place the frosting into a piping bag and drizzle over the cookies. If you do not have a piping bag you can also just drizzle the icing over the cookies using a spoon.

Top with valentines colored sprinkles and allow to set. Serve and enjoy!

Nutrition

How long will my red velvet cookies be good for?

These cake mix cookies are going to be good for up to 5 days if kept stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

How to Get a Perfectly Round Cookie Shape

Want to know a neat little trick? After your cookies have been baked, while they are still hot and cooling on the pan, take a medium-sized round cookie cutter or a round glass/drinking mug and place it over the top of the cookie. The round shape should be slightly bigger than the cookie for this trick to work.

Swirl the round cutter/object around the cookie, knocking it into the sides a bit as you go. The more you swirl, the smaller and thicker the cookie will become. Then let the cookies cool. This is how you can get homemade cookies to look perfectly rounded. This trick won’t work with cutout cookies, but it works fine with drop cookies and rolled cookies.

Can I use store bought frosting instead?

If you would rather use store-bought frosting for the icing, add in 2 Tbsp. of heavy whipping cream into the frosting and microwave for 30 seconds being sure to mix the frosting well. You can even add a little red or pink food coloring to the frosting to make them extra special for Valentine’s Day!

Why are my cookies flat?

The first culprit behind flat cookies is there the butter could have been too soft or even melted. This will make the cookies spread and have a flat appearance. You could consider adding an extra tablespoon of flour to the dough to absorb some of the butter issues. Also, if you placed your cookie dough on a hot cookie sheet that could be the issue too.

Kids crack me up! This little one was ALWAYS happy in the water. Even if it was cold, she was hungry, or her brothers were picking on her. She’s still happy in water! I should put her on the swim team… maybe it’d still work now in her tween years…
