Strawberry Cookies from Cake Mix
There’s just something about making quick and easy cookies, even for the most seasoned of bakers. Cake mix cookies in general will always be a favorite that give you the taste of homemade cookies, without the mess or hassle of a fully handmade cookie.
These Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies are the perfect cookie with a hint of fruitiness and chewiness of your favorite soft cookie. The delicious strawberry flavor is subtle and almost reminds me of the flavor of Fruity Pebbles or freeze dried strawberries that is just so delicious.
The white chocolate chips add a sweetness, creaminess, and bite to the cookie that is really complimentary to the strawberry flavor. If those aren’t for you, definitely leave those out!
If you’re a fan of strawberry in desserts, these Strawberry Yogurt Popsicles, Strawberry Shortcake, and Fruit Pizza are great options too!

Storage
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer and then transfer to a freezer bag.
To freeze, place cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet once they are cooled completely and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer safe bag or freezer-safe container, separating layers with parchment paper. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
FAQs
Absolutely! Prepare the dough and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking for enhanced flavor.
You can make cake mix cookies with other flavors like Funfetti or chocolate. You can also use a generic white box of cake mix and add in extracts like vanilla extract or these Peppermint Crinkle Cookies.
If you don’t have an ice cream scooper, simply use a tablespoon to portion out the cookie dough. It may require a bit more hands-on shaping, but the results will be just as delicious.
You can roll the dough in powdered sugar for a crinkle style of cookie, or make a cream cheese frosting!
