Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, 1/2 cup of oil, and 2 large eggs. Use a spatula or electric mixer to mix until everything is well incorporated. The dough will be thick and sticky.
Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1 cup of white chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This step is crucial as it makes the dough easier to handle and helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
Shape the Cookies: Once chilled, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. If desired, add a few extra white chocolate chips on top for decoration.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. The cookies should look slightly soft in the center but firm around the edges.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. They will continue to cook slightly as they cool. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely or serve warm.
