    Strawberry Red Velvet Swirl Cookies on a red cake plate

    Can I just saw how freaking cute are these cookies?! I love pink and red and hearts and Valentines Day it is the cutest holiday ever! I used to get in trouble at work for drawing hearts everywhere. I couldn't help myself! They make everything look so fun and happy and cute! So when Valentines Day rolls around I can put as many hearts in as much pink and red writing as I want!

    So when I dreamed these cookies up in my head they were so cute, but then when I made them I was in LOVE! And the flavors of red velvet and strawberry mixed together with chocolate drizzled on top and sprinkles?! I died and went to obnoxious cookie heaven.

    These were just the cookies to break me out of my baking dry spell. With crazy work schedules, the flu (the California flu that has been absolutely dreadful, I might add), a blog conference and everything else in between it's been a couple weeks since I've made some magic in the kitchen.

    Check out this post on my Cookie Baking Tips

    • Total Time: 35 minutes
    • Yield: 2 Dozen Cookies 1x

    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    • ½ box Red Velvet Cake Mix
    • 1 Large Egg, at room temp.
    • 2oz (¼ cup) Vegetable Oil

    • 8oz (1 Cup) Milk Chocolate Chips or Candiquick
    • 4oz (½ Cup) Sprinkles

    Instructions

    Red Velvet Cookies

    1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with a Silpat liner, if using.
    2. In a medium bowl combine red velvet cake mix, egg, and oil. Set Aside.

    Strawberry Cookies

    1. In a medium bowl combine strawberry cake mix, egg, and oil. Set Aside.

    Assembly

    1. Scoop 1 tablespoon of red velvet cookie dough and press in 1 tablespoon of strawberry cookie dough. Roll the dough together between your hands then place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes exactly. Let cool on tray for 5 minutes then transfer to wire rack.

      How do you make these without the batter being so sticky, that I can’t get it to roll in ball or come off my hand? I followed recipe. Even put flour on my hands & it was impossible to make into a cookie ball.

        Hi Hamrmony, I am so sorry you are having issues with the cookie dough. Did you add the right amount of oil? I have never had that issue, I'm so sorry! XX Liz
