Ingredients
Cookie Dough Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable or olive oil
Coating
- About ½ to ¾ cup powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable or olive oil. Stir until the mixture forms a soft, cohesive dough.
- Chill (Optional): For easier handling, you can refrigerate the dough for about 15 minutes, but this step is optional.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop small portions of dough and roll them into balls approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Coat with Powdered Sugar: Roll each dough ball generously in powdered sugar to coat all sides, creating a sweet outer layer.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the coated dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly firm but the center remains soft.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delightful strawberry-flavored cookies!
Notes
- You can substitute vegetable oil with olive oil for a slightly different flavor profile.
- Rolling the dough balls generously in powdered sugar creates a signature crackled look and adds extra sweetness.
- Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft and tender inside.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor but is optional.
