Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 15.25 ounces box of strawberry cake mix (Pillsbury recommended)
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
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 aside.
- Mix Dough: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Use a handheld mixer on medium speed to combine the ingredients until just mixed. The dough will be thick.
- Scoop Cookies: Using a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing each cookie 2 inches apart.
- Bake Cookies: Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are just barely golden. Remove the cookies and let them rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Prepare 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 have completely cooled, spoon the strawberry glaze over the top of each cookie. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Use wax paper to separate layers.
- Cookie dough balls can be frozen for 2 months; bake directly from freezer, adding 5-7 minutes to baking time.
- For variation, add white chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
- Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop yields smaller cookies; reduce baking time to 8 minutes.
- Egg substitution: replace 2 large eggs with ½ cup applesauce for an egg-free option.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before glazing for best result.
- Let cookies rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes after baking to set shape.
