Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies Tips and Tricks
- Be careful when you remove the cookies from the oven and baking sheet. They will still be very soft but firm up quickly as they cool.
- Do not overbake the cookies. They will turn golden quickly and will lose their pink color.
- The cookie dough is very sticky and might be difficult to roll into balls. If so, use a cookie or ice cream scoop to place them on the trays.
What Are Cake Mix Cookies?
Cake mix cookies are simple cookie that uses cake mixes instead of measuring out dry ingredients like flour and baking soda. Then, you have to add the eggs and oil and bake the cookies! It’s an easy recipe with simple ingredients you’ll find at the store.
Difference Between Cake Mix and Cookie Mix
Both cake mix and cookie mix include the same basic ingredients – flour, sugar, and baking soda. But the most significant difference between them is the amounts of the ingredients. The cake mix makes a thinner batter. Cookie mix makes a thicker dough easier to handle and roll into balls.
My easy strawberry cake mix cookies have a thinner, almost sticky batter. For best results, I suggest using a cookie scoop when you place them on the lined baking sheet.
Can I Freeze The Cookie Dough?
Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough and save it for later. I suggest rolling cookie dough balls on a greased cookie sheet. Then, put the baking sheet in the freezer. Once frozen solid, you can set the frozen cookie dough in a freezer bag or freezer-safe container. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to six months.
What Size of Cake Mix To Use
Use a regular box of cake mix at the grocery store. Use a 15.25-ounce box of strawberry cake mix in this easy cookie recipe.
Can I Use Fresh Strawberries in Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies?
Yes, you can use fresh strawberries in easy strawberry cookies. I suggest dicing them up small if you want to mix them into the batter. Otherwise, slice them thinly and add them on top as decoration.
What Are Some Creative Ways To Decorate Cake Mix Cookies?
Decorating the colorful strawberry cake mix cookies is the fun part! Here are some of my favorite ways to decorate them.
- Create designs with melted chocolate
- Top with white chocolate hugs
- Sprinkle with edible glitter
- Pipe with decorative frosting
- Use them to make ice cream sandwiches
FAQ
Since they are a pretty pink color, you can serve them at a baby shower, bridal shower, or on Valentine’s Day.
Since they come out of the oven so soft, I do not recommend using a wire rack. The cookies might fall in between the slats. Instead, let the cookies cool on a silicone mat.
This recipe makes 22 cookies.
