• STRAWBERRY CAKE MIX – Any brand will do.
• FLOUR – All purpose flour.

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix and flour and mix well.
3. Stir in oil and egg until well combined.
4. Use a tablespoon portion scoop to scoop dough onto prepared baking sheet.
5. Gently press to flatten with your hand or the bottom of a drinking glass, until the cookies are about 1/2″ thick.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until center is set and bottom begins to brown. Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Storage and Freezing

Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They should be good for about 5 days.

You can freeze this recipe, either before or after baking. To freeze before, simply make the cookie dough as instructed. Flatten dough balls on cookie sheet and then put the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour. Once dough is frozen, you can transfer to a Freezer Bag. When ready to bake, there is no need to thaw, just add 1-2 minutes to baking time.

If you want to freeze these cookies after baking, allow to fully cool, then transfer to a freezer bags. To thaw, just leave out a room temperature. They should be good in your freezer for up to 4 months.

Notes, Tips and Variations

• MIX INS AND FROSTING? – We kept these pretty simple, but the great thing about these Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies is that you can really have fun dressing them up. Add chocolate chips or white chocolate chips. Or put an icing on them! Or you could make some buttercream frosting and use that to make cookie sandwiches! You could also let them cool and dip them in melted white chocolate for an elegant treat.
• HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOU COOKIES ARE DONE? – To keep these cookies soft and chewy, we definitely don’t want to overbake them. Just keep an eye on them and you’ll know they are ready to come out when the tops just start to get some cracks on them.
• EASY CLEANUP – We are just using one bowl to mix everything together, so cleanup is super simple. But we also advise using parchment paper on your cookie sheet. This helps the cookies not to stick but also makes cleaning up so simple!
• USE A DIFFERENT CAKE MIX – We have made Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies, Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies, Funfetti Cake Mix Cookies and Cake Mix Cookie Bars.
• DO YOU NEED TO REFRIGERATE YOUR DOUGH BEFORE BAKING? – No, you don’t. But some people like to put their dough in the refrigerator for about 2o minutes before scooping on the cookie sheet. It just makes the cookie dough a little easier to work with!

This recipe should make about 30 cookies. I hope you enjoy this Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies Recipe! Let me know how you like them in the comments and tell me if you’ve found another creative thing to add to them. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
