These Red Velvet Cookies with three kinds of chocolate chips will be a favorite Valentine’s Day treat this year.
A couple months ago I made these Chocolate Mint Cookies. I had to give them away, or I would have eaten the entire batch of cookies before the day was over. They were that good!
Have you tried the cake mix cookies yet? They are one of my favorite go-to cookies at the moment.
I love how quick and easy cookies from a cake mix are to make and bake. You could bake them right away, but I like to let the dough chill in my refrigerator for about 60 minutes. It helps the dough from spreading out too thin.
And DO NOT bake them more than 9 minutes. They will look very undone, but they will set up quickly.
My favorite way to eat them is fresh out of the oven. The center is still so gooey and soft and just perfect. Plus, the chocolate is so melty and delicious.
I wanted to make some of these Red Velvet Cookies with a Valentine’s flair for this month. When I was shopping at Walmart I found the Nestle Valentine’s mix of chocolate chips. Every bite of these cookies has a good amount of chocolate in it.
The best thing about these cookies is that they stay soft for about 5 days. I’m sure they would stay soft longer, but cookies just don’t last long enough in our house for me to test that theory.
I hope you like red and pink Valentine’s Day treats because I kind of went overboard this year and baked quite a few. So get prepared for a new one every day and maybe even one after the heart day is over.

I was in charge of deserts for my DH labor day party at his work. After baking 72 cupcakes and 48 cookies, I was horrified to find out the cookies had turned to bricks. Luckily I found your recipe and whipped up a triple batch of these using Hershey’s premier white chips creamy vanilla flavor. Everyone at his company loved these and they keep asking him to bring more of these cookies in. Thank you so much for a lovely recipe. Have a beautiful day.
Jocelyn says
I am so glad you found my recipe, and that they were a hit at the party! That’s awesome to hear 🙂
Tiffany says
Hi ,
I was just wondering , if I freeze these cookies, how long do you think they would last being out of the fridge. I would like to make thee for friends but I must travel to go see them and I’m just wondering if they would last the trip.
Thank-you,
Tiffany
Jocelyn Brubaker says
How long of a trip is it? They last 5-7 days just being in a sealed container on the counter.
Robert says
Nestle discontinued the Valentines Morsels. Did the red chips have a different flavor? Or were they just red?
Any replacement suggestions?
Thank you!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
They were just colored red. You can use any chocolate chips that you like in the cookies. White, milk, and dark chocolate chips would be a great mix too!
Robert says
Thanks! What do you think about using red & or pink m&m’s in place of the milk chocolate?
Jocelyn Brubaker says
I think that sounds like a great idea!
Jonathan says
O!!! M!!! G!!! I almost put myself into a diabetic coma bc of these AMAZAZING cookies!!! They were SUPER easy to make, and i was THIS close to shoveling them all into my mouth all at once!!! Thanks for posting this awesome recipe!!!
Connie says
Are these cookies freezer friendly?
Jocelyn Brubaker says
I have actually never had these last long enough to freeze, but I don’t see why they couldn’t be frozen. I would layer them with wax paper before freezing to keep them from sticking to each other.
Jana says

Roxana | Roxana's Home Baking says
I’m pretty sure these would not last 5 days in my house. And yes, warm out of the oven all cookies are the best!
I hope you’ll bring this recipe to this month chocolate party

Whoops! Sorry about that. Apparently I forgot to add that. It is 350*. I just went in and edited the recipe. Thank you for letting me know. I hope you enjoy the cookies!!!
Ari @ Ari's Menu says
I love the combination of dark and white chocolate chips (and the pretty red ones) here because it fits so well with what red velvet is–is it chocolate? Is it vanilla? Who knows, it’s RED! 😉

You don’t need to twist my arm to get me to love red velvet these days! And the triple chips just take them to a whole new level. 😉 Cake mix cookies are underrated – they so convenient! And taste so good!

I am surprised these cookies even lasted five days! They wouldn’t last two minutes in my house.

They don’t usually last that long, but I bagged them up for lunches and the kids know they can’t eat those whenever they want!
