Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies with White Chocolate Chips
Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies are dotted with white chocolate chips and chunks of fresh strawberries. A soft, chewy, and simply sweet treat!
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces box strawberry cake mix
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh strawberries chopped, divided
- 1 1/2 cups white baking chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and lemon juice until fully combined.
- Fold in Mix-Ins: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chopped strawberries and 1 cup of white baking chips.
- Scoop the Cookies: Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Add Extra Strawberries (Optional): Top each cookie with a few of the remaining chopped strawberries for a fresh, fruity touch.
- Bake: Bake for 11 minutes, or until the edges just start to brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Remove cookies from the oven and immediately press the remaining white baking chips into the tops of the warm cookies.
- Cool & Serve: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tips: The cookie dough can be prepared and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping and baking.
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For extended freshness, store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezing Instructions: These cookies do not freeze well due to the fresh strawberries, which release moisture when thawed. However, the cookie dough (without strawberries) can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, fold in fresh strawberries and bake as directed.
