Get ready to indulge in strawberry flavor with a hint of vanilla chocolate flavor from these strawberry cookies with cake mix. These delicious cookies are a quick and easy to make cookie recipe with simple ingredients.

Gotta love quick recipes especially when it's an easy cookie recipe. These mouthwatering chewy cookies are made with a strawberry cake mix to get that strawberry flavor. With white chocolate morsels sprinkled into them for that vanilla sweetness. They bake up within minutes with no need to chill the cookie dough.

These pink cookies are just as easy as our chocolate cake mix bars or our red velvet cake mix cookies to make. But are the perfect cookie for Valentine's Day, baby showers, or any special occasion that you want pink cookies for.

Tips

I love making this delicious cookie recipe, not only because they are easy to make but because they taste amazing. These pink cookies bake up soft and are packed full of white chocolate chips.

To make these perfect strawberry cookies with cake mix the first tip I have is to not overbake them. You want the inside of the cookies to be slightly gooey with a bit of brown color to the outside of the pink cookies. So when you see the pink to these cookies start to get brown you will want to pull them out of the oven.

To get more white chocolate flavor to these cookies add more to the top of the cookies. Once the cookies come out of the oven place them onto a wire rack. Then add more fresh white chocolate morsels on top of each of the cookies. This will really help the pink of these strawberry cookies pop.

To change up the flavor of these cookies a bit you could change out the white chocolate morsels for milk or dark chocolate morsels. Or even leave out the chocolate chips altogether. Roll the cookie dough balls into powdered sugar for a strawberry crinkle cookies.

Whenever I make cookies I love to use a silicone liner on my cookie sheet. Of course, parchment paper will work as well. Silicone liners of parchment paper will help the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet.

I also have found that it's best to bake the cookies in the middle of the oven one baking sheet at a time. This helps the airflow in the oven to circulate around the cookies so they can bake evenly.

Grab that cookie scoop to help scoop out the perfect-sized cookies. I used a 1-inch cookie scoop and was able to get 20 cookies from the batter. You could use a small or medium cookie scoop to get more cookies. Leave enough space between the cookies so they can spread out some while baking.

If properly stored in an airtight container strawberry cookies with cake mix will keep at room temperature for 3-5 days. These easy cookies do also freeze well, place in a freezer bag, and store for up to 2-3 months.

How To Make

Making strawberry cookies is quite simple. Into a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer. Dump in the cake mix, oil, and eggs into the large bowl and mix the ingredients until well combined. Since these cookies are made with a box of cake mix the dough will be thick.

Now you could bake these cookies just like this but let's add a bit of vanilla sweetness to them. By mixing white chocolate morsels into the batter. Reserve some white chocolate chips to add to the tops of the cookies once they come out of the oven.

Place the cookie dough balls onto a prepared baking sheet and bake in a 350℉ oven for 10-12 minutes. Just remember that tip we shared earlier about overbaking. You want a bit of brown color to the pink of the cookies while the inside of the cookies will be slightly gooey.

Cool the strawberry cake cookies on a cooling rack. Now is the time to push the extra white chocolate chips into the top of the freshly baked cookies to make that pink color pop more.

Why Use A Cake Mix

You may be wondering why to use cake mix to make these strawberry cookies even though making cookies from scratch is easy to do. Using a cake mix helps to eliminate a couple of steps in the cookie making process. No need to sift the flour because the cake mix acts as the flour as well as the leavening agents. There is also less measuring for making these strawberry cookies with a cake mix. Pink cookies are perfect to make when you want cookies but don't have any butter.

Since cake mix cookies are made with oil there is no need for butter. But what I like most about using a cake mix for cookies is that it's perfect for beginner bakers.
