This is by no means a normal recipe from me. But, I’m human and every once in a while I need to whip up a treat quick. These 3 Ingredient Cake Box Cookies actually happen to be something I make exactly 1 time per year. My kids love “red cookies” and while I do not typically have dyes in my house. It’s a really hard color to replicate. So until I can find some better alternatives, I will be making these one time a year.
Ingredients in these cookies
Only 3 ingredients are needed for this! In all honesty, there is 4 if you want to add chocolate chips or sprinkles. The ingredients are:
- Red Velvet Cake Mix (Or any cake mix you want to use. Funfetti is fun too!)
- Eggs
- Avocado Oil (or vegetable oil if that’s all you have)
Other Desserts to try from me:
You will want to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
My next goal is to make my own cake box cake mix at home. I am working on that recipe and hopefully will have that out soon! I’m going to start with vanilla and do chocolate as well. That way I always have some ready to go and won’t have to worry about going to the store for it! Let me know which type you make below!
