In a mixer bowl, sift red velvet cake mix and flour.
Add egg, ½ of candy cane bits (pounded), canola or vegetable oil, vanilla and buttermilk.
Mix the ingredients until smooth and blended. Don’t over mix.
Use a spoon or an ice cream scoop and scoop cookie batter. Form batter into a ball. Note: The ice cream scoop I used has a diameter of 2 inches to make big cookies.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat cookie ball with powdered sugar. In a zip lock bag or a bowl whichever is easier for you, add powdered sugar, roll and fully coat cookie ball.
Place cookie ball in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cookies should be 2 to 2 ½ inches apart.
Garnish with remaining candy cane bits.
Bake cookies between 12 to 17 minutes. Cookies will crack while baking. Note: Oven temperature vary, so adjust baking time accordingly.
Cool down cookies completely before transferring to a serving plate. Enjoy!
Notes
