How to Make Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to create a lined baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and canola oil. Stir until a thick cookie batter forms. Fold in the optional white chocolate chips (if using them) until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the strawberry cookie dough into evenly sized cookie dough balls and place cookies about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are set and just starting to turn golden brown. The centers will look slightly soft. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to rest for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Expert Tips
- Do not overbake: Baking just until the edges are set keeps the strawberry cookies soft and chewy.
- Use parchment paper: A lined baking sheet helps prevent sticking and promotes even baking. The dough can be a little sticky before baking, so it just makes preparing them easier!
- Let them set: Allowing cookies to rest on the cookie sheet before moving helps them hold their shape.
- Make ahead friendly: The cookie dough can be stored in the fridge for short refrigeration before baking.
