Ingredients
It only takes a few ingredients to make these delicious cookies.
- Strawberry Cake Mix: The star of the show! It provides the sweet strawberry flavor and acts as the base. I love using Duncan Hines, but Betty Crocker and Pillsbury work wonderfully too!
- Eggs: The binding ingredient holding everything together.
- Vegetable Oil: It provides moisture and keeps the cookies soft and chewy.
- White Chocolate Chips: They add an extra touch of sweetness and texture.
How to Make Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
Making these cookies couldn’t be easier!
- Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined and a soft dough forms.
- Add the white chocolate chips. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Refrigerate the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Form the cookies. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
- Bake. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes until the edges are set.
- Cool. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Tricks
These cookies are foolproof, but these tips take them over the top.
- Don't overbake! Bake the cookies for 10 minutes until the edges are set. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to set as they cool. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
- For Easy Cleanup: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze. Pro Tip: Pre-cut parchment sheets save time and help ensure even baking.
- Use A Cookie Scoop: For evenly sized cookies that bake uniformly, use a small cookie scoop to make 1-inch cookie dough balls.
- Create crinkle cookies. Roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before baking for a crinkle cookie effect.
- Make ‘em pretty. Once cooled, dip half of each cookie in melted white chocolate. Then, add sprinkles for a fun, festive touch.
- Make ‘em fancy with frosting. Spread a tasty buttercream frosting on top for additional sweetness.
- Try a fun twist. Try using different cake mix flavors, such as lemon, chocolate, or Funfetti.
How to Store
These cookies are perfect for making ahead, and they’re also easy to store!
To Make Ahead: The cookie dough can be made in advance. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen dough in the fridge before baking.
To Store: Keep the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. For longer storage, place in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
To Freeze: Place the cooled cookies in a freezer-safe container or bag. Store them in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined and a soft dough forms.
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the dough before forming into cookie dough balls. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle and prevent spreading during baking.
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients to create a smoother dough and more even baking.
- For a fun twist, roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before baking for a crinkle cookie effect.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
- For extra decoration, press a few additional white chocolate chips on top of cookies immediately after baking
