👩‍🍳 How to Make Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies
  1. Step 1: Prepare the DoughRed velvet crinkle cookies coated in powdered sugar, showcasing vibrant red color and crinkled texture, arranged on a festive platter.

    n a large mixing bowl, combine red velvet cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and lemon zest until fully mixed.
    Stir gently until the mixture forms a soft dough with a smooth consistency.
    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
    Chilling helps the cookies hold their shape during baking and enhances the crinkle effect.

  2. Step 2: Coat with Powdered SugarRed velvet crinkle cookies coated in powdered sugar, showcasing vibrant red color and crinkled texture, arranged on a festive platter.

    In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with cornstarch to create a coating mixture.
    Scoop chilled dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to ensure even portions.
    Roll each dough portion into a smooth 1-inch ball using your hands.
    Coat each ball generously in the powdered sugar mixture, ensuring no spots are left uncovered.

  3. Step 3: Bake the CookiesRed velvet crinkle cookies coated in powdered sugar, showcasing vibrant red color and crinkled texture, arranged on a festive platter.

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while preparing the cookie sheet.
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
    Place the sugar-coated dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies puff up and visible cracks form on the surface.
    Avoid overbaking; the cookies should be set but still soft in the center.

  4. Step 4: Cool and ServeRed velvet crinkle cookies coated in powdered sugar, showcasing vibrant red color and crinkled texture, arranged on a festive platter.

    Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.

    Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for freshness.
