Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- If you want to add chocolate chips or nuts, fold them into the dough at this point.
- Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Roll each ball of dough in powdered sugar to give them a sugary coating.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use room-temperature eggs, and don't overmix the dough. Chill the dough for 30 minutes if you prefer thicker cookies. You can enhance flavors with lemon zest or shredded coconut.
