Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the box of strawberry cake mix, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Use a wooden spoon or a hand mixer to mix the ingredients together until a thick dough forms. Ensure there are no dry cake mix pockets remaining.
- Once the dough is well combined, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
- After you have scooped the dough, place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Roll each cookie dough ball in the powdered sugar until they are well coated. This will give the cookies a beautiful, sweet finish.
- Once all the cookies are coated in powdered sugar, place the baking sheets in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and the tops are slightly cracked. Be careful not to overbake, as you want them to remain soft and chewy.
- After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies have cooled, serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy your delicious Cake Mix Strawberry Cookies!
Tips
- Always use room temperature eggs for the smoothest dough consistency.
- Don't overmix the batter - stop mixing as soon as ingredients are just combined.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Roll cookies in powdered sugar just before baking for the best crackled appearance.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly.
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of strawberry jam to the dough.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their soft, chewy texture.
- For a gourmet touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over cooled cookies.
