Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1 (15.25 ounce) box Duncan Hines red velvet cake mix
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and lemon zest. Stir by hand until well blended and a dough forms.
In a shallow dish, mix powdered sugar and cornstarch with a fork until evenly blended.
Form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in the powdered sugar mixture.
Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on cool, ungreased baking sheets.
Bake one sheet at a time in the center of the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cookies are set.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 more minutes.
Repeat the baking process for the remaining dough.

This cookie is a crowd pleaser! For an extra indulgent twist, add 1 cup of white chocolate chips into the batter. The addition of white chocolate takes these cookies to a whole new level of decadence! I experimented with a chocolate fudge cake mix and mixed in 1 cup of white chocolate. Then, I placed a Hershey's chocolate drop in the center of each cookie ball. This creation is what I like to call the Triple Chocolate Cookie Crinkle, and it's a chocolate lover's dream!

I made these cookies for Christmas and followed the recipe exactly. Based on others' advice, I refrigerated the very sticky dough for a bit and baked them on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet. I also lowered the temperature to 350°F and baked them for 15 minutes. The result was perfect. Using a melon scoop, I was able to make 48 cookies with a small amount of powdered sugar leftover. The cookies have a lovely crackled appearance, a chewy middle, and a clean taste. They definitely have a prominent lemon flavor. If you're looking for a chocolate taste, these cookies won't fulfill that craving. Some suggested adding a cup of white chocolate chips to achieve that, so I'll try that next time.

Excellent small cookie. Since I didn't have any lemons for zesting, I substituted with 1/4 tsp of lemon extract. It worked perfectly and gave a delightful hint of flavor to the cookie.

I found these cookies to be incredibly easy to make and absolutely delicious! Just be mindful that they can stain your hands. I received many compliments and will definitely be making them again. I also decided to add white chocolate chips to the cookies, which was a tasty addition.
