What’s in Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies?
You can turn a box of cake mix into the most delicious strawberry cookies with just a few ingredients, most of which will already be in your pantry.
- Strawberry Cake Mix: Use any brand of cake mix you like.
- White Chocolate Chips: White chocolate complements the strawberry flavor perfectly.
- Baking Powder: Be sure to use fresh baking powder for best results. This helps to create a fluffier texture.
- Eggs: Eggs bind ingredients to build structure in any baked good. Without them, your cookies would end up dry, dense, or crumbly.
- Vegetable Oil: Oil adds moisture to the cake mix.
- Vanilla Extract: This adds just a bit more flavor.
Pro Tip: For chocolate strawberry cake mix cookies, swap the white chocolate chips for milk, semisweet, or dark chocolate chips!
Variations on Strawberry Cake Cookies
You can make cake mix cookies with any flavor you like by following the same basic instructions.
How to Store Strawberry Cookies from Cake Mix
Let the cookies cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container or resealable bag, and keep at room temperature up to 3 days. If you want to keep them a little longer, you can move them to the refrigerator for a couple more days, and let them come to room temp before eating.
How to Freeze Strawberry Cookies with Cake Mix
To freeze these strawberry cookies, place them in flat layers in a freezer-safe resealable bag, and place sheets of parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Once they’re frozen, you can rearrange them as needed. Freeze up to 1 month, then thaw in the fridge before serving.

- In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, and vanilla together by hand. Whisk until well. Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with cake mix and stir with a spoon until a dough forms. Be sure to fully combine. Mix in the white chocolate chips.2 large eggs,⅓ cup vegetable oil,½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract,1 cup white chocolate chips
- Using a small portion scoop, drop rounded balls of the dough onto your baking sheet. These cookies flatten out quite a bit, so make sure the balls are taller than they are wide, and give them quite a bit of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes. Do not let them brown in the oven. They will appear slightly undercooked, but that is a good thing. They will firm up and flatten as they cool. When you take them out, you can add a couple more white chocolate chips to the top to make them look pretty (this is a little food blogger trick!)
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Notes
Storage: Store strawberry cake mix cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
