Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box strawberry cake mix
- ½ scant cup vegetable oil (or 7 tablespoons melted butter)
- 2 large eggs
Optional Toppings
- White chocolate melting wafers (about ½ cup for melting)
- Heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and eggs. Stir until the mixture is fully combined into a dough. For easier handling, refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes since it will be sticky.
- Scoop Dough: Using a medium cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes, until they are set but not browned. Be careful not to overbake to maintain their softness and chewiness.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate (Optional): Melt about ½ cup of white chocolate melting wafers. Dip half of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, then place them onto wax paper. Immediately sprinkle with heart sprinkles if desired. Let the chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- For more strawberry flavor, mix ¼ to ½ cup chopped freeze-dried strawberries into the dough.
- Ensure your cake mix is a full 15.25 ounces for best results, as some brands have reduced package sizes.
- You can add ½ cup white chocolate chips into the dough for extra sweetness or roll dough balls in granulated sugar before baking for a lovely texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. To freeze, allow cookies to cool completely, then place in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
