There is nothing easier than starting off a recipe with a box of cake mix. I just love recipes like this as it eliminates so many steps, and yet, you still get a delicious dessert.

You can search the quick and easy recipes on the blog and find several recipes that start with just a simple cake mix. It is my go-to for any event. Plus, I have used these recipes as they are frequently egg-free. With my daughter’s allergy to eggs, these recipes are great for her to take part in dessert time too. Nonetheless, this recipe does have eggs, so this is not for her.

Step 2: Start with a Red Velvet Cake Mix

Then, add in a box of red velvet cake mix. This isn’t always easy to find. I was, fortunately, able to find a box at Target. Now I know to stock up on this cake mix when I see it available. Here’s the box I used.

I also use the red velvet cake mix for these delicious ice cream sandwiches.

Step 3: Add the Oil

Next, add in a 1/3 cup of oil. I used vegetable oil for these cookies, but canola oil would work as well.

Step 4: Add the Eggs

Then, add two eggs to the mix. At first, you’ll think you need to put three, but three is just too many. I have tried this a few different ways, and two eggs are plenty for these cookies to turn out perfectly.
