I think red velvet anything is totally amazing. The color, and there is something about the taste of a red velvet cake or cookie.

Getting back to these red velvet cookies, you only need a few other ingredients along with the cake mix and by adding in the white chocolate chips, it’s almost like that’s the frosting.
