Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • About 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until just combined into a thick dough. Do not overmix.
  3. Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow dish.
  4. Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons. Roll each dough ball completely in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
  5. Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. The crinkles will set as they cool.

Notes

  • For a more intense strawberry flavor, use a strawberry cake mix that contains real freeze-dried strawberries.
  • If you want to add chocolate, fold in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips after mixing the dough.
  • If you prefer a glaze, skip the powdered sugar rolling step and drizzle with a simple strawberry lemon glaze after the cookies cool.
