Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 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
Mix-ins
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the strawberry cake mix, eggs, softened salted butter, strawberry syrup, lemon juice, and baking soda until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Fold in Chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the dough, evenly distributing them without overmixing.
- Shape Cookies: Use a small 2-inch cookie scoop to portion out dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes or until the edges are just set but not browned, maintaining a soft center.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 4 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Freeze cookies for longer storage, keeping in mind they are soft and crumbly, so handle carefully to avoid breakage.
- Watch baking time closely; remove cookies just as edges set to prevent overbaking and browning, ensuring a soft texture.
- Using fresh lemon juice adds a subtle brightness that complements the strawberry flavor.
