Ingredients

Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.

Full measurements are in the recipe card below.

Red velvet cake mix- we used Betty Crocker's cake mix, but you can use your favorite red velvet cake mix for this!

Vegetable oil- we made these cookies with vegetable oil, but you can use canola oil or melted coconut oil as well!

Cornstarch- cornstarch helps to create a crumbly and tender texture for these cookies, plus, it keeps the cookie thick and soft.

Eggs- you will need 2 large eggs for this recipe. Make sure that your eggs are at room temperature.

White chocolate chips- use your favorite brand of white chocolate chips! For the best result, use high-quality white chocolate chips for this.

Kosher salt- you will need about ½ teaspoon of kosher salt for this recipe.

Instructions

Into a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, vegetable oil, and kosher salt, and mix it with a whisk until well combined.

Use a cookie scooper to scoop out the cookies or scoop the cookies with a regular tablespoon, 1 ½ tablespoons at a time.

Place the cookie dough balls onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 10-12 minutes.

Immediately top them with more white chocolate chips. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes, and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Expert Tips

  • Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly.
  • Don’t overmix the dough, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist cookies and not dense and dry cookies.
  • Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat! This step helps the cookies to bake evenly, and it makes sure that your brown butter chocolate chunk cookies release easily from the pan.
  • Use a cookies scoop to scoop out the cookies, that way you will have even-sized cookies, plus it ensures that your cookies bake evenly.
  • Chill the dough! This step is crucial and prevents the cookies to spread out too much. After making the cookie dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel, and chill the dough in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Be patient! I know it’s incredibly tempting to eat these cookies as they are pulled out of the oven, but let these cookies cool for at least 15 minutes so they will be more firm and won’t crumble up.
  • Let these cookies cool for 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 more minutes. This step ensures that the bottom of your cookies will not be soggy from the steam.

Faq's

How long will these cookies last?

These cookies will last for up to 5 days stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

What flavor is red velvet?

Red velvet taste like a combination of chocolate and vanilla with a slightly tart flavor.

What cake mix did you use?

I used betty crocker's red velvet cake mix. A more popular red velvet cake mix is Duncan Hines.

Storing

It’s okay to store these cookies at room temperature. Make sure that you store them in an airtight container.

Freezing

Simply, follow the instructions as written and make the dough balls, then transfer the dough balls into a freezer-friendly airtight ziplock bag, and freeze the cookie dough ball for up to 3 months.

When ready to bake the cookies, bake them right away, no need to thaw them. Add an extra minute or so for the baking time.

OR freeze the cookies after they are baked and cooled to room temperature in a freezer-friendly airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.

Substitutions

Dairy-free - If you are dairy-free, replace the white chocolate chips with dairy-free white chocolate chips.

Variations

Chocolate chips- you can swap the white chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips.

White chocolate- you can dip these in white chocolate and sprinkle sprinkles on top for a festive look!
