Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 15.25 ounces box strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
Strawberry Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup strawberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons half and half
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for baking.
- Mix Dough: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Use a handheld mixer on medium speed to mix until just combined. The dough will be very thick.
- Scoop and Bake: Use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing each scoop 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are just barely golden. Let cookies rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Make Glaze: While cookies bake, mix powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and half and half in a small bowl. Whisk or stir until the glaze is smooth and combined.
- Glaze Cookies: Once cookies have completely cooled, spoon the strawberry glaze over each cookie. Allow the glaze to set before serving for the best texture.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, separating layers with wax paper.
- You can freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 2 months; bake from frozen adding 5-7 minutes to baking time.
- Add white chocolate chips to the dough for extra sweetness and texture.
- For smaller cookies, use a 1-tablespoon scoop and reduce baking time to 8 minutes.
- Substitute ½ cup applesauce for eggs if avoiding eggs.
- Let cookies rest on the sheet before cooling completely to prevent breaking.
- Glaze only when cookies are fully cooled to avoid melting.
