Variations
- Frosting. Make double stuffed cookies by whipping up some easy Vanilla Buttercream Frosting recipe or Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe and placing this between 2 of these strawberry cookies. You can also just frost the cookies.
- Chocolate Chips: Fold in about 1 cup of white, milk, or dark chocolate chips for a chocolaty twist.

- Melted Chocolate: Dip half the cookies in melted white chocolate for a fun and festive variation.
- Different Cake Flavors: While strawberry is delicious, try vanilla, chocolate, red velvet, or cherry chip for a new take on the cookies.
- Sprinkles: Add sprinkles to make the cookies festive for holidays or special occasions.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2. Then combine everything together in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer or spoon. You batter will be thick but that is normal.
Step 3. Use a medium cookie scoop to form the dough balls. Roll the dough balls in powdered sugar in a large bowl.
Step 4. Place the cookie dough balls on a lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave about 2 inches between each cookie.
Step 5. Bake until cookies are slightly brown around the edges. Allow to cool a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Pro Tips
- Use a Cookie Scoop: Using a cookie or ice cream scoop helps create uniform dough balls for evenly baked cookies.
- Cooling Rack: Always transfer baked cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely and maintain their texture.
- Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter just until combined to keep the cookies light and fluffy instead of dense.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure eggs are at room temperature to help the dough come together smoothly.
- Space Cookies Properly: Leave at least 2 inches between cookies on the baking sheet to allow for spreading.
- Watch Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies. They should be lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
Frequently Asked Questions
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Also, you can put a piece a bread in the container with the cookies to keep the cookies moist.

I used a 15.25 oz strawberry cake mix to make these strawberry cookies and it worked great. This is the most common cake mix that is available.
They do make 18 oz cake mixes and I have found that they also work great to make these cake mix cookies. Cookies made with an 18 oz cake mix have more of a cake like texture but still taste great.

I am NOT an avid baker by far. But your easy to follow recipe tricked my co-workers into thinking I’m a great baker…I just didn’t correct them. Nor did I let them in on the easy secret of using boxed cake mix. But these cookies were gone quickly, and many inquired about the recipe. I just told them it is “an old family recipe” that I didn’t even measure ingredients because I’ve made them so many times (ok, little white lie). You made me look talented and experienced! Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing Brittney! I’m so glad your co-workers and you used them!
So good and so easy!!! 4 yr old toddler approved! I even put some sliced almonds on the parents batch 😋 I wish I could upload a pic! But nonetheless thankful for you and your recipe♥️
So glad you loved it!
Hi! I have an egg allergy- are there any substitutes I can use?
