Easy 4 – Ingredient Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

Soft, chewy and made with only a handful of ingredients, these Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies are full of fun, pink flavor! We love to make them for Valentine’s Day, but they would be perfect for a baby shower, kid’s birthday parties or any other festive occasion!

Can You Make Cookies Out Of Cake Mix?

You bet! While I’ve heard about them before, I had never really gotten around to making any and I didn’t realize how delicious they were and how EASY they are to make. Using cake mix to bake cookies takes out several steps and ingredients in the process, so you will be spending less time in the kitchen baking and cleaning and more time enjoying these delicious cookies!

And, if you’ve ever walked down the bakery aisle in your grocery store, you can find inspiration to make tons of other cake mix cookies with other cake mixes. We’ve tried Snickerdoodle Cake Mix Cookies and Red Velvet Cake Mix Cookies, but you could also try Lemon, Spiced, Carrot or any other flavor of cake mix you can find!

6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until center is set and bottom begins to brown. Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Storage and Freezing

Cookies can be stored in a tupperware at room temperature. They should be good for about 5 days.

You can freeze this recipe, either before or after baking. To freeze before, simply make the cookie dough as instructed. Flatten dough balls on cookie sheet and then put the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour. Once dough is frozen, you can transfer to a Freezer Bag. When ready to bake, there is no need to thaw, just add 1-2 minutes to baking time.

If you want to freeze these cookies after baking, allow to fully cool, then transfer to a freezer bags. To thaw, just leave out a room temperature. They should be good in your freezer for up to 4 months.

Notes, Tips and Variations

• MIX INS AND FROSTING? – We kept these pretty simple, but the great thing about these Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies is that you can really have fun dressing them up. Add chocolate chips or white chocolate chips. Or put an icing on them! Or you could make some buttercream frosting and use that to make cookie sandwiches!
• HOW TO KNOW WHEN YOU COOKIES ARE DONE? – To keep these cookies soft and chewy, we definitely don’t want to overbake them. Just keep an eye on them and you’ll know they are ready to come out when the tops just start to get some cracks on them.
• EASY CLEANUP – We are just using one bowl to mix everything together, so cleanup is super simple. But we also advise using parchment paper on your cookie sheet. This helps the cookies not to stick but also makes cleaning up so simple!
• DO YOU NEED TO REFRIGERATE YOUR DOUGH BEFORE BAKING? – No, you don’t. But some people like to put their dough in the refrigerator for about 2o minutes before scooping on the cookie sheet. It just makes the cookie dough a little easier to work with!

This recipe should make about 30 cookies. I hope you enjoy this recipe for Strawberry Cake Cookies! Let me know how you like them in the comments and tell me if you’ve found another creative thing to add to them. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
