- Cake Mix: 1 Box of strawberry cake mix is the main ingredient. This is gives the flavor of the cookies and is all the dry ingredients.

How to Make Strawberry Cookies With Cake Mix
Simply mix together the dry and wet ingredients in a bowl with a spatula until well combined to make the batter mixture. Once ready, get ready to bake! These cokies are so easy to make and always taste delicious!
- Mix. Stir the cake mix, oil, and eggs together until combined. The dough is sticky, so I like to refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes if I have the time. It makes it easier to work with once it’s chilled.
- Bake. Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, then bake at 350°F for 9 to 11 minutes until the cookies are set (but not brown).
- Cool. Let them sit on the pan for a couple of minutes, then move them to a cooling rack.
- Dip. Then get to dipping once the cookies have cooled completely. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave until smooth, then dip half of each cookie in the chocolate. Lay them onto wax paper and immediately add sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.

Modifications
These strawberry cake mix cookie recipe have a great base to start with. Add chocolate, modify them, or create your favorite cookie using these methods. Enjoy all these possibilities!
- The white chocolate is optional – you could leave it off if preferred.
- I used white melting wafers for dipping, but white chocolate chips work great too. The chips also taste great folded into the dough.
- You could even use milk or dark chocolate instead of white.
- To make it sweeter, roll the dough balls into granulated sugar before baking.
- A classic buttercream would taste great on top of these strawberry cookies as well.
Recipe FAQs
For a chewy cookie you need more moisture in the cookie dough. The balanace of wet and dry ingredinets is something you have to work with.
There are several ways to bake a cookie! To start, most if not all ingredients should be at room temperature before starting. Only do one batch at a time, chill the cookie dough, and cooling on the baking sheet is the best way to make a good cookie.
Storing and Freezing Strawberry Cookies
To store, simply add to an airtight container or bag and keep at room temp for up to 1 week. You can even freeze the cookies if you’d like. Just let them cool completely, then place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months.

Took longer than 10 minutes to bake but came out yummy :)
Sometimes bake times vary depending on your oven as well as altitude. So glad that you loved these cookies!
This is the easiest cookie recipe I’ve ever made. I’ve used other flavors of cake mix also, and everyone loves them. I won’t do it any other way now.
Mine came out super flat :( I used Betty crocker’s cake mix for it, followed the measurements, and it was so thin that some would break when dipping it. I tried adding more dough per cookie but it just made a large flat cookie. The taste was okay, though :)
Sorry they didn’t work as well for you. Maybe too much oil was added? Depending on where you live you may need to refrigerate them as well.
