Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 15.25 ounces box of strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 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 aside.
- Mix Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Use a handheld mixer on medium speed and mix just until combined; the dough will be very thick.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared cookie sheet spacing the cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are barely golden.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes after baking, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Make Glaze: While cookies bake, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and half and half in a small bowl until smooth.
- Glaze Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, spoon the glaze over the top and allow it to set before serving.
Notes
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, separating layers with wax paper.
- You can freeze cookie dough balls for up to 2 months; bake them straight from the freezer, adding 5-7 minutes to baking time.
- Add white chocolate chips to the dough for extra flavor.
- For smaller cookies, use a 1 tablespoon scoop and reduce baking time to 8 minutes.
- Substitute ½ cup applesauce for eggs if you prefer an egg-free version.
- Always let cookies rest 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before moving and wait to glaze until they are completely cooled.
