Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 15.25-ounce box strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 tablespoons strawberry syrup
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (about one lemon)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, softened salted butter, strawberry syrup, lemon juice, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly until the batter is fully combined and smooth.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop Cookies: Using a small 2-inch cookie scoop, drop portions of the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are just set but not browned. The cookies should be soft and lightly pink.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 4 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or plate to finish cooling. Serve once slightly cooled.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze cookies to preserve freshness for a few months.
- Handle cookies carefully as they are soft and crumbly, which makes them delicate.
- Watch baking time closely; removing cookies when edges are just set ensures softness. Avoid browning edges to keep texture optimal.
