These cookies are made by swirling two types of dough together (red velvet and a green-dyed vanilla). Chilling both before you swirl the two flavors together really helps keep it from sticking to your fingers — and getting food coloring on your skin.

Ingredients
For the Red Velvet Dough
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
For the Green Vanilla Dough
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract (optional)
- 10 drops green food coloring
For Decoration
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Directions
- Step 1Preheat oven to 350°.
- Step 2Make the red velvet cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, stir together cake mix, oil, and eggs and mix until combined. Set aside.
- Step 3Make the green vanilla dough: In another mixing bowl, stir together cake mix, oil, eggs, vanilla, and food coloring and mix until combined.
- Step 4Refrigerate both kinds of dough for 20 to 25 minutes. Then, add the red velvet dough to the green vanilla dough, twisting the two together using your hands, kneading just enough to create a swirled, marbled effect.
- Step 5Roll dough into 1" balls, then roll in powdered sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies have flattened and the center is no longer gooey or jiggly when you move the baking sheet.
