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
- 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.
- 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.
- Form Dough Balls: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
