Equipment
- Spacious bowl
- Stand Mixer (optional)
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper or Silicone Mat
- Small Cookie Scoop
- Wire Rack
Ingredients
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (15.25 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup white chocolate chips optional, for extra sweetness!
Instructions
- Gather & Mix: In a spacious bowl or your trusty stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, room temperature egg, strawberry cake mix, baking powder, and vegetable oil. Blend everything together until you have a smooth and lovely dough.
- Fold in Sweetness: If you're adding them, gently stir in the white chocolate chips. They'll melt beautifully and add a delightful vanilla touch!
- Chill Time: Pop your dough into the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. This little break helps the cookies keep their perfect shape when baking. While it's chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Scoop & Bake Prep: Using a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave about 2 inches between each one.
- Bake to Perfection: Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for approximately 12-13 minutes. The cookies are ready when their tops are set and the edges look just slightly golden.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let these charming cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before gently moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. Get ready to share a sweet moment!
Notes
These cookies are perfect for sharing with loved ones or enjoying all by yourself! The optional white chocolate chips add an extra layer of sweetness and texture.
