Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box (about 15.25 oz) Strawberry Cake Mix
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Butter (softened) or vegan butter substitute
- 2 large Eggs or egg substitutes
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup Freeze-Dried Strawberries (crushed)
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder or Baking Soda (if the cake mix does not include leavening)
- 1/3 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or macadamia nuts)
- Other dried fruits (e.g., cranberries or cherries)
- Dollops of cream cheese (for cream cheese swirl)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather the strawberry cake mix, white chocolate chips, butter, eggs, and any optional add-ins. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure smooth baking and easy cleanup.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, soften the butter and beat it together with the eggs until creamy. This creates a smooth base that integrates perfectly with the cake mix.
- Add the Cake Mix: Gradually stir in the strawberry cake mix, blending it until well combined. The mixture should be slightly thick but still workable.
- Fold in White Chocolate Chips and Add-ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips. If using freeze-dried strawberries, nuts, or other optional add-ins, incorporate them now to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Shape and Bake: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft, which ensures a chewy texture.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This step helps the cookies set perfectly without overbaking.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the dough; combine ingredients just until incorporated to keep cookies tender.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure smooth blending and even baking.
- Chilling the dough is optional but reduces spread and creates thicker cookies.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Test bake one cookie first to adjust baking time based on your oven for perfect results.
