Kylee’s Notes & FAQs
Kylee’s Notes
These cookies will be super soft when coming out of the oven. Be sure to let them cool before trying to remove them from the cookie sheet.
How to store baked cookies
Store in a covered container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Variations
You can make lemon cake mix cookies, by simply swapping out the cake mix flavor, all other ingredients remain the same.
Freezing instructions
The cookie dough balls can also be frozen before baking. Scoop onto a baking tray and freeze until solid. Store in a zip lock bag and pull out as many as you need that day. Bake as usual, don’t thaw – for an extra 4-5 minutes from frozen.
Key Recipe Ingredients
Remember: this is just an overview and the why of the ingredients I choose here. The full list of ingredients and amounts is found in the printable recipe card below.
- Strawberry Cake Mix. Any brand will do, I use Duncan Hines or Pillsbury with no difference between the two.
- Eggs. You’ll need 2 eggs.
- Vegetable oil.
- White chocolate chips. These are optional. I mix them into the batter, but also keep a few to press into the cookies as they come out of the oven so they look pretty. You can also use milk or dark chocolate chips, or use m&m candies if you prefer.

JumpGet prepped
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees f, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silpat (silicone baking mat).
Make the cookie dough
Add the cake mix to a large bowl.
In a smaller bowl, whisk the eggs together, then add the oil and whisk until well combined.
Add the egg/oil mixture to the cake mix and combine until a dough forms. The dough will be soft.
Fold in the white chocolate chips, leaving a few for decorating the cookies after baking.
Scoop
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the batter from the mixing bowl onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges will be lightly brown, and the cookies will be soft when you remove them.
Add the extra chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies, pressing them into the cookies lightly.
Cool
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Devour.
