Whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil.

Add the contents of 1 box of red velvet cake mix and mix until combined, switching to a spatula or spoon as the mixture thickens.

Add 3/4 cup of white chocolate chips to the dough.

Chill the dough in the fridge for about 20 minutes to allow the dry ingredients to hydrate.

Scoop out heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough and place them at least 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.

Look for the edges to be lightly browned and the center of the cookie to not look wet anymore.

Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
