How to Make Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

Step 1 – Stir the ingredients completely in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer or a stand mixer. Batter will be thick. Make sure to scrape the sides to combine the ingredients.

Step 2 – Use a cookie scoop to make perfectly shaped cookies.

Step 3 – Roll cookie dough balls in powdered sugar.

Step 4 – Place cookie dough on a baking sheet or silicone mat.

Step 5 – Bake until they “poof” up and start to slightly brown around the edges.

Step 6 – Cool cookies on a cooling rack. Sometimes we sprinkle with granulated sugar too.

Recipe Tips

• Line Baking Sheet – For easy cleanup, line the baking sheet with parchment paper. This also helps when removing the cookies from the pan.
• Scooping Dough – For best results, we recommend using a cookie scoop to form the dough. This helps to ensure the cookies are about the same size.
