Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone liner
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cookie scoop

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup oil

Instructions
 

Prepare

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking liner.

Mix the Dough

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and oil together until glossy and smooth.
  • Add the entire box of strawberry cake mix to the bowl. Stir with a spoon or spatula just until a thick, sticky dough forms and no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.

Scoop and Bake

  • Scoop the dough into balls, using about 2 tablespoons for each cookie. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches of space between each one for spreading.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops look dry and are lightly cracked. The centers should still look slightly soft.

Cool

  • Let the cookies rest on the hot baking sheet for 2 minutes to firm up.
  • Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Flavor Boost: For a more intense, natural strawberry flavor, stir ½ cup of finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the dry cake mix before adding the wet ingredients.
Pro Tip: The dough will be sticky. Use a cookie scoop for easy and uniform portioning. If the dough is too difficult to handle, chill it for 30 minutes.
Variations: For strawberry white chocolate chip cookies, fold 1 cup of white chocolate chips into the dough. For crinkle cookies, roll the dough balls in powdered sugar before baking.
Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the scooped, unbaked dough balls and bake them from frozen; just add 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
