Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to ensure cookies do not stick.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, softened salted butter, strawberry syrup, lemon juice, and baking soda. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is completely uniform and smooth.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the cookie dough so they are evenly distributed without breaking them.
- Form Cookies: Using a small 2-inch cookie scoop, drop dough portions onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies have just set and look lightly browned. Avoid overbaking to maintain softness.
- Cool Cookies: Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet for 4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or plate to serve.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to retain freshness.
- For longer storage, freeze the cookies where they can keep for several months. Be careful handling as these cookies are very soft and crumbly.
- The cookies should be pulled out of the oven as soon as the edges set; overly browned edges indicate overcooking which makes the cookies less soft.
- You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt if preferred.
- For extra strawberry flavor, add a little more strawberry syrup or some freeze-dried strawberry powder to the dough.
