Easy Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
Oh, I love my cake mix cookies! Don’t you love them, too? I mean, they are some of the easiest cookies you can make, and they always turn out great. Especially these strawberry cookies made with cake mix – they are soft, chewy, and so easy with just three ingredients!
I’ve tested this recipe with all the major cake mix brands – I love to use Betty Crocker because it makes the best cookies from cake mix that don’t spread too much. Duncan Hines is another good choice – they will spread a little more than the other but still turn out great.
4 Ingredients Needed
- Strawberry Cake Mix: Be sure to get a cake mix that is about 15.25 ounces, any brand.
- Butter: Melted unsalted butter makes these the EASIEST cookies – no mixer needed!
- Eggs: Be sure to buy large eggs
- White chocolate chips – you can substitute chocolate chips or omit for a 3-ingredient cookie recipe!
How to Make Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
- Mix the cake mix, melted butter, and eggs in a large bowl. You can do this with a spoon or use a hand mixer. Mix in the white chocolate chips if you are using them.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop two tablespoons of dough to form each ball. Place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Sace the chilled cookie dough balls another baking sheet, two inches apart. Bake the cookies at 350°F. They are done when they are no longer glossy.

Recipe FAQ
Yes, and it’s an essential step for making the best cookies. Chilling firms them up, so they don’t spread as much when they’re baked.
Different cake mix brands can cause the cookies to flatten. I like Betty Crocker best for these cookies – they don’t spread as much and have a great texture. If you skip the chilling step, your cookies will be flatter, too.

Ingredients
- 1 15.25 ounce box strawberry cake mix
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter , melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups (255g) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add cake mix, melted butter and eggs to a large mixing bowl. Stir or mix with a hand mixer until smooth. Mix in white chocolate chips.
- Scoop 2-tablespoon size balls of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat. No needs to space; you’re going to chill the dough. Chill for at least 1 hour.

I just made Lemon (didn’t have any Strawberry) Cake Mix Cookies with White Chocolate Chips & they are amazingly incredible. I just love your Cookies book & all of your recipes. Thanks so much for sharing!
These are awesome! I used cheesecake morsels instead of white chocolate chips. They were a big hit. Will make again. Thank you for this easy recipe. Happy Baking Everyone.
So easy and super yummy. I could probably cut down on the white chocolate chips because the cookies are super sweet but taste delicious with a glass of milk!!
