These red velvet Bisquick cookies start with an all-purpose baking mix, creating incredibly soft cookies. White chocolate chips bring smooth flavor and a nice contrast in color.
Heat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for 2-3 minutes. Mix in the vanilla and egg on low speed.
Then add the Bisquick and cocoa. Mix until combined, but the. mixture will be dry and crumbly to start. Keep mixing and it will come together like a smooth cookie dough. Once mixed, add in red food coloring until the desired color has been reached.
Fold in ¾ cup of the white chocolate chips.
Using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared pan, leaving about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
When the cookies come out of the oven, add a few additional white chocolate chips to the top of the cookie if desired. Cool on the baking pan for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
You'll notice there is no leavening agents or salt in this recipe. That's because they are in the Bisquick, so you don't need to add more.
Cookies may not look done when coming out of the oven. Mine were ready to come out in about 9 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with a few white chocolate chips and allow the cookies to cool for at least 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. They'll continue to cook a little bit as they cool. Moving them too early will cause the cookies to fall apart.
Need perfect cookies? Place a large round cookie cutter (or a wide mouth mason jar ring) over the hot cookie. Use your hand to make quick circles on the pan, which will spin the cookie on the inside of the ring and perfectly round out the cookie.
