These air fryer red velvet cake mix cookies are a quick and easy way to enjoy soft, chewy cookies with a rich, velvety flavor. Made with just a few ingredients, they’re the perfect treat for when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to spend hours baking. Plus, using the air fryer gives them a slightly crispy edge while keeping the center irresistibly gooey.
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- Optional: white chocolate chips or cream cheese frosting for extra flavor
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the cookie dough.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the dough forms and everything is well-mixed. If desired, fold in some white chocolate chips for added sweetness.
Scoop the Dough: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form 1-inch dough balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
Prepare for Air Frying: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, leaving room for the air to circulate. Arrange the dough balls in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t too close to each other (they will spread).
Cook the Cookies: Air fry the cookies at 320°F (160°C) for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Cool: Remove the cookies from the air fryer and let them cool for 5 minutes on a cooling rack. They will firm up as they cool.
Optional Decoration: For a finishing touch, drizzle cream cheese frosting over the cooled cookies or enjoy them as is!
