These delightful Sweetheart Strawberry Kiss Cookies are a perfect treat for any sweet occasion, especially Valentine's Day! Made with a strawberry cake mix base, they are incredibly easy to whip up and feature lovely white chocolate chips. Soft, chewy, and bursting with strawberry flavor, these cookies are sure to impress your sweetie!
Get Ready to Bake! First things first, preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). Grab two large baking sheets and line them with parchment paper – this clever trick makes cleanup an absolute breeze!
Mix the Dry Goodies: In a spacious mixing bowl, simply combine the strawberry cake mix and the baking powder. Give it a gentle stir until everything looks beautifully blended.
Whisk the Wet Wonders: Now, in a separate, smaller bowl, take a moment to whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and pure vanilla extract by hand. No need for a fancy mixer, just a good old-fashioned whisk will do!
Combine & Create Dough: Pour your whisked egg mixture into the bowl with the cake mix. Stir with a sturdy spoon until a lovely pink dough starts to form. Make sure everything is fully combined, then gently fold in those delightful white chocolate chips until they're evenly distributed throughout.
Scoop Your Sweethearts: Using a small cookie scoop or a regular spoon, carefully drop rounded balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets. Remember to leave a bit of space between each cookie – they like to spread out and get comfy! For the prettiest cookies, aim for balls that are a little taller than they are wide.
Bake to Perfection: Pop your cookie sheets into the preheated oven and bake for just 9-10 minutes. The secret here is not to overbake them; they'll still look slightly soft in the center, which is exactly what you want! They'll firm up perfectly as they cool. For a charming touch, you can press a few extra white chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie right after they come out of the oven.
Cool & Enjoy: Let your gorgeous cookies cool on the baking sheets for at least 10 minutes. This allows them to set completely before you move them. Once cooled, they're ready to be shared and enjoyed with your sweetie!
