Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 15.25 ounces box strawberry cake mix
- 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 Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Mix Cookie Dough: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Use a handheld mixer on medium speed to mix until just combined. The dough will be very thick.
- Scoop and Bake Cookies: Use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the cookie sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges are just barely golden.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring 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 cookies are completely cooled, spoon the glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, separating layers with wax paper.
- You can freeze cookie dough balls for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to baking time.
- Optional: Add white chocolate chips to the cookie dough for extra sweetness.
- Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop for smaller cookies; reduce baking time to 8 minutes.
- For an egg substitute, use ½ cup applesauce.
- Wait until cookies are completely cooled before glazing to prevent melting.
