Make soft, chewy strawberry cake mix cookies fast. This easy recipe uses only four ingredients and results in tender cookies with a signature powdered sugar crinkle top, perfect for a quick sweet treat.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the entire box of strawberry cake mix, the two eggs, and the vegetable oil. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  3. Pour the powdered sugar onto a shallow plate.
  4. Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons. Roll each ball of dough thoroughly in the powdered sugar until completely coated.
  5. Place the coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Bake for 9 to 11 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 transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The powdered sugar coating will set into a crinkle pattern as they cool.

Notes

  • For an extra fruity flavor, add 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips to the dough mixture.
  • If you prefer a tangier cookie, substitute the vegetable oil with melted unsalted butter.
  • To make a simple glaze, whisk 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk and 1/4 teaspoon of lemon extract. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
