Helpful Tips and Information:
How to make strawberry cookies from cake mix:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together dry cake mix, corn oil and eggs; stirring until smooth.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto a prepared baking sheet, approximately 2-inches apart.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown on the edges. Do not over bake!
- Allow the cookies to cool on a baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
How to make Easy Valentine’s Cookies:
To make these Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies a festive Valentine’s Day dessert, we melted white chocolate chips and drizzled the melted chocolate over the baked strawberry cookies. We then added festive Valentine’s sprinkles on top of the melted chocolate drizzle.
However, to make these cookies year-round, you could substitute the Valentine’s sprinkles with mini chocolate chips, rainbow sprinkles or pink or red sanding sugar.
Alternatively, instead of melting the chocolate chips to drizzle over the cookies, you could stir the white chocolate chips into the cookie dough before baking.
Cake Mix Cookie Variations:
Cake Mix Cookies are so easy to make and change up based on your favorite flavor combinations.
Start with the base recipe:
1 (15.25 ounce) box cake mix
1/2 cup corn or vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, chopped nuts, coconut, etc.)
And then simply change the cake mix flavor and/or mix-ins to create different cake mix cookie variations.
