Easiest Strawberry Cookies
If you’ve never made cake mix cookies before, you must give them a try! They’re so delicious and perfect for when you need to make something easy and fast. This is a fun variation that is perfect for celebrating Valentine’s Day!
These strawberry cookies couldn’t be easier to make. They start with a cake mix and are finished with a white chocolate dip. They are super soft, full of strawberry flavor and best of all dipped in chocolate!
Only 3 Ingredients
You only need 3 simple ingredients to make these strawberry cookies. Then if you’d like to make them a little fancier, you can add white dipping chocolate and sprinkles. :)
- Cake Mix: 1 Box of strawberry cake mix is the main ingredient
- Oil: The oil helps bring this recipe together. You can use melted butter in it’s place as well.
- Eggs: Make sure to use fresh eggs so the cookies have a nice rise.
How to Make Strawberry Cookies with Cake Mix
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 cookies are set (but not brown). Let them sit on the pan for a couple of minutes, then move 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
- 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 sweeter, roll the dough balls into granulated sugar before baking.
- A classic buttercream would taste great on top of these strawberry cookies as well.

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounce box strawberry cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- white chocolate melting wafers , optional
- Heart sprinkles , optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper and set aside. Combine the cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl. Stir together until combined. If you have the time, refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes (it will make it a little easier to work with, since it is sticky).
- Using a medium scoop or spoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking mat. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are set. You don’t want them to brown. Allow to cool on the pan for a couple minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
- If desired, melt 1/2 cup chocolate and then dip half the cookie into the chocolate. Lay cookies onto a wax paper and add sprinkles if desired.

I made these but I substituted Cherry Chip cake mix because that’s the best cake mix flavor ever.
That sounds so delicious!
Do you think i could use this recipe if i was wanting to make dough for cut out cookies? I wanted to make heart shaped for valentines.
I wouldn’t recommend for cut out cookies. This is my go-to sugar cookie recipe: https://www.iheartnaptime.net/soft-sugar-cookies/
Loved these and super easy. It would be easy to change up the flavor to lemon, orange, pineapple or carrot cake. Even chocolate with the white coating chocolate would be great too. thanks for the idea.
You are so welcome, Jody! There are so many fun variations to try :)
My granddaughter and I made these beautiful cookies together. What a great way to spend an afternoon and the cookies were delicious. Preparing to bake them for Valentines Day 2022. Thank you for posting.
So fun! I’m glad you all had a great time making them. Have a great Valentine’s Day!
How big of a spoonful should I use for the cookies? A one inch ball? A tablespoon ball? Bigger or smaller?
I like to use a medium cookie scoop or spoon (about 1.5 Tablespoons)
Roughly how many cookies will this recipe make?
About 24 cookies :)
I notice that both the strawberry cake mixes I found call for 3 eggs. Do I follow the recipe on the box and use 3 eggs or just use 2 like you suggest in your recipe? Thank you,
Carol
Just the 2 suggested in the recipe :)
Absolutely fantastic. Follow the recipe to the letter. No more than 11 minutes in over. You can’t go wrong. Fast and easy and will get rave reviews from fam and friends. And that is what every cook truly looks for anyway.
Thanks so much for the nice comment and review, Laura! So glad you enjoyed the cookies :)
