Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan option)
- 1/3 cup oil (vegetable, canola, or melted butter for richer flavor)
Optional Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet, dark, or white)
- Marshmallows (for a sweeter and chewy texture, quantity as desired)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or greasing them to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and oil. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully blended, creating a smooth dough.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough to distribute them well.
- Form Cookies: Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and roll into balls. Place each ball onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them suitably to allow spreading.
- Flatten Cookies: Gently flatten each dough ball slightly to promote even baking and achieve a uniform cookie shape.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until the cookie edges turn lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute regular eggs with flax eggs to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Use melted butter instead of oil for a richer cookie flavor and texture.
- The addition of marshmallows is optional but will add a delightful chewiness to your cookies.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and tender.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
