Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box strawberry cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking liners to prevent sticking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and oil thoroughly until the batter is fully incorporated with no dry cake mix clumps remaining.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until just combined to evenly distribute them throughout the dough without overmixing.
- Form Cookie Balls: Shape the dough into 2-inch balls using your hands or a medium cookie scoop for uniform-sized cookies.
- Optional Freeze: If desired, freeze the cookie dough balls at this stage, allowing you to bake a few cookies at a time later when needed.
- Arrange on Baking Sheets: Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1 to 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for 12 minutes or until the edges start to brown lightly. The centers will still look soft and will firm up as they cool.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely, ensuring the cookies set with a perfect texture.
Notes
- You can freeze the cookie dough balls to bake fresh cookies anytime, making this recipe convenient for batch preparation.
- Use parchment paper or silicone liners to prevent cookies from sticking and for easy cleanup.
- These cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, you can add a teaspoon of strawberry extract to the dough.
