Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 15.25-ounce box strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup salted butter softened
- 1½ tbsp strawberry syrup
- 3 tbsp lemon juice (about one lemon)
- ½ tsp baking soda
Add-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, large eggs, softened salted butter, strawberry syrup, lemon juice, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly until the dough is completely combined and smooth.
- Fold in chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Scoop dough: Using a small 2-inch cookie scoop, portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are set and only lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to maintain softness.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 4 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or plate for serving.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to preserve freshness.
- For longer storage, freeze the cookies for several months; handle gently as the cookies are soft and crumbly.
- Ensure cookies are just set before removing from the oven; edges should be slightly firm but not golden brown to avoid dryness.
- Using parchment paper helps prevent sticking and keeps cookie bottoms soft and chewy.
- If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, increase lemon juice by an additional teaspoon carefully.
