I’m always looking for a reason to bake. It is your birthday? The last day of school? Is there a holiday? Or just because I want to tell you thank you for being my friend? I can easily find a reason to make a batch of cookies.

Lately, I’ve been fascinated with cake cookies. They’re just as yummy as cookies made from scratch like these chocolate chip or brown sugar cookies. But they come together faster.

For Red Velvet Cake Cookies, you will need…
1 pkg. red velvet cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 c. butter softened
1 1/2 c. white chocolate chips

I noticed while I was getting the cake mix at the store that there are now multiple colors of velvet cake, including pink and blue. I like the color pop of classic red velvet. But you could make red and blue with the white chips for a special Memorial Day dessert.

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and softened butter. Be sure not to melt your butter because it will make the cookies flat. Then, mix in the eggs one at a time until they are well mixed.

Hand stir in the chocolate chips. I like the white ones, because they give it a little more sweetness compared to regular milk chocolate.

Scoop the cookies onto a lined baking sheet, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes on the pan. Then move to a wire rack to finishing cooling.

I found my reason to bake this week. Do you have yours? Let me know what you put together. I would love to try it out! Have a great weekend and from all of us at Texas Table Top, enjoy!
