Description

These Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies are an easy and delightful treat that combines the sweetness of strawberry cake mix with melty white chocolate chips for a soft, flavorful cookie. Perfect for any occasion, these cookies come together quickly and are rolled in powdered sugar for a light, sweet coating that adds a lovely texture contrast.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (Can substitute with melted butter for a richer flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or chocolate chips (Feel free to mix in your favorite types of chocolate.)

Coating

  • ½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling) (Optional for a sweet coating.)


Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth and uniform dough, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips or your choice of chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
  3. Form Dough Balls: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  4. Coat with Powdered Sugar: Roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar until fully coated. This step is optional but adds a delightful sweet crust and visual appeal to the cookies.
  5. Preheat Oven & Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat to prevent sticking.
  6. Bake Cookies: Place the coated cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops show slight cracks.
  7. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up without becoming hard.

Notes

  • Substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer, buttery flavor.
  • Use any variety of chocolate chips according to preference, such as milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate.
  • Rolling in powdered sugar is optional but adds a sweet finish and attractive look.
  • Do not overbake to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
