Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
Sweet, tender, and bursting with strawberry flavor, these cookies are perfect for any occasion, combining cake mix convenience with classic chewy texture.
Ingredients
For the Base
- 1 box strawberry cake mix You can try other cake flavors like vanilla or lemon for different tastes.
- 2 large eggs Try using flaxseed or applesauce for an egg replacement if you're vegan.
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil Substitute with melted coconut oil or applesauce for a lighter option.
To Serve (Optional)
- 1 cup white frosting or Valentine's Day M&Ms Feel free to use homemade frosting or Greek yogurt sweetened with honey as a healthier topping.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even baking.
- In a bowl, mix the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil until well combined. It's okay if the mixture is a bit thick.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. The centers might look slightly soft; they will firm up as they cool.
- Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack. Once cool, top with white frosting or sprinkle with Valentine's Day M&Ms if desired.
Notes
For a touch of luxury, drizzle melted white chocolate over cooled cookies. Use colorful sprinkles or festive toppings to enhance visual appeal.
