Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
Soft, chewy Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies made with just 3 simple ingredients (and optional white chocolate chips). Quick to mix, quick to bake, and they stay pink and pretty!
Ingredients
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (15–16 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ⅔ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (do not grease the pan).
- In a large bowl, mix together the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil until fully combined. The dough will be thick, soft, and slightly glossy.
- Fold in ½ cup white chocolate chips, if using, mixing just until incorporated.
- If the dough feels too sticky to scoop, chill for 20–30 minutes.
- Scoop dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges look set and the centers still look slightly soft. (They won’t brown much.)
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Don’t grease the pan - extra oil can cause cookies to spread too much.
- Chill sticky dough instead of adding flour. Cake mix dough is naturally soft. If it’s hard to scoop, chill it for 20-30 minutes.
- Use a cookie scoop for even baking. Uniform dough balls help cookies bake evenly and keep some from drying out.
- Don’t wait for browning. Strawberry cookies stay pink - remove them when the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet first. Let cookies sit for about 5 minutes before transferring so they finish setting without overbaking.
- Let baking sheets cool between batches. Hot pans can cause cookies to spread too quickly.
- Store properly to keep them soft. If cookies feel sticky from humidity, store them in an airtight container with a paper towel or slice of bread.
