YIELDS

Ingredients

15 oz box Red Velvet cake mix (or White Cake mix)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Red food coloring gel (if using white cake mix)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside until needed.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, oil and eggs. Mix until well combined and uniform in colour. The batter will be pretty stiff.
Stir in both types of chocolate chips.
Lightly spray a one-and-a-half to two tablespoon cookie scoop with cooking spray. Scoop batter onto prepared baking sheets, about two to three inches apart- they will spread out.
Bake for 11 to 12 minutes. Cookies will look soft and slightly underdone in the center when you take them out; they’ll keep cooking on the baking sheet.
Let them cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then remove them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
