Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- 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.
- Oil: The oil helps bring this recipe together. You can use melted butter in its place as well.
- Eggs: Make sure to use fresh eggs so the cookies have a nice rise. Leave them out to room temperature for this cookie recipe.
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.

These cookies look divine! I love to try new recipes for Valentines and this couldn’t be more adorable or delicious looking! I cannot wait to give them a try. I have to try it. Thanks so much for posting.
I use a stick of butter instead of oil. Yummy!
I will be making these festive cookies! I love the idea of rolling them in sugar too, just to add a touch more sweetness!
My first time making them was in January 2021; I also rolled half of mine in pink sugar crystals…Came out wonderfully. Gave a slightly different texture, yet very good. My husband actually liked them better.
These were so easy and a lot simpler to decorate than I expected! Serving them at our Super Bowl party tomorrow!!
Loved these strawberry cookies!
The recipe was sooo good and super easy. Thank you!
I do have a question- Is their a way to make them a tad bit less sweet? I
There isn’t too much you can adapt in this recipe besides leaving out the melted chocolate. You could try adding white chocolate chips into the recipe instead.
These look so good! Is there a way to make them heart shaped instead of just round?
You could try rolling them in balls, pressing down, and cutting with a heart shaped cookie cutter.
The white chocolate w/ the strawberry made these irresistible!
What a great idea to give cookies in a container. They stay fresh and fun to give to neighbors and friends. Pinned.
Really cute vibes. Love the post and your girl is the cutest. Sending lots of love. ♥️
Thanks Patricia :)

I love this recipe, I made these for my toddlers daycare party and also for 3nd graders teachers. So cute and incredibly easy! I made mine with milk chocolate wafers instead of white but still great.
CUTEST cookies ever! I love the colors and the flavors…perfect for Valentine’s Day!
These cookies are super cute and delicious!
I used a heart shaped cookie cutter once they came out of the oven, and when cooled, painted half with the white chocolate. Perfect for Valentines treats
Great idea!
These are so pretty and festive.
My kids love these cookies! So adorable!
Your daughter is adorable! I’ve made these cookies years ago but not with the icing and sprinkles — so yummy and easy! These are very pretty cookies. Will make these soon with the icing and sprinkles.
