Step 3: Shape. Using a cookie scoop make 2 tablespoon sized cookie dough balls. Place on the prepared cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Press extra white chocolate chips in the tops of the cookies if desired.
Step 4: Bake. Bake for 7-9 minutes. The cookies will be slightly jiggly in the centers. Let cool on the cookie sheets for about 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.

Notes

Cake mix sizes can vary and might be slightly different. It will still work.

You can use a mild-tasting oil like canola or vegetable oil instead of butter. I do love the rich flavor of butter.

To make red velvet crinkle cookies roll the cookie dough in powdered sugar before baking.

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
