Ingredients
-
1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
-
2 large eggs
-
⅓ cup vegetable oil
-
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
-
Optional: ¾ cup white chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, or sprinkles
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using).
Mix until a soft dough forms. The dough will be thick and sticky.
Fold in white chocolate chips or other mix-ins, if desired.
Step 3: Scoop the Dough
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion dough into 1½-inch balls.
Place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
Cookies will continue to cook on the sheet after removal, so don’t overbake.
Step 5: Cool & Serve
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Enjoy warm or store once completely cool.
Notes
Chill the Dough – For puffier cookies, chill dough for 20–30 minutes before baking.
Don’t Overbake – Cookies should be soft in the center when pulled from the oven.
Add a Festive Twist – Press seasonal sprinkles or extra chips on top before baking.
Double the Batch – These cookies go fast, so you might want to make two!
Dress Them Up – Drizzle with melted white chocolate or sandwich with frosting for cookie sandwiches.
