Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for richer flavor)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, enhances flavor)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (or rainbow sprinkles for a festive touch)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil (or melted butter), eggs, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until the dough comes together and is smooth.
-
Add Mix-Ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips or sprinkles. If you’d like to add other mix-ins like chopped nuts or dried cranberries, now’s the time!
-
Scoop and Shape: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
-
Decorate (Optional): If using sprinkles, press a few extra on top of each cookie for a decorative touch.
-
Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake, as the cookies will firm up as they cool.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Store: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
