I love making these red velvet box cake cookies because they are so simple and delicious. My kids go crazy for them and they are perfect for any holiday or just a weekend treat. Using a box cake mix saves so much time and the cookies come out soft and chewy every time. I also like that I can control the ingredients a bit by using less butter or adding some nuts for extra texture. These cookies are a great way to enjoy the classic red velvet flavor without all the fuss of a layer cake.
