Some days you want to bake something special, but you do NOT want a sink full of dishes or a whole afternoon in the kitchen.
These strawberry cake mix cookies are made for exactly those days.
Four ingredients. One bowl. Eighteen minutes from start to finish.
And that gorgeous pink color with the crinkly powdered-sugar top? Nobody ever has to know how easy they were.
How to Make Strawberry Crinkle Cake Mix Cookies
- Stir cake mix, eggs, and oil together in one big bowl until a soft dough comes together. That’s your whole batter, right there.
- Scoop and roll the dough into little 1-inch balls.
- Roll each piece of dough in a bowl of powdered sugar until it’s coated all over. This is what gives you that beautiful crackly top.
- Line the cookies up on your parchment-lined sheet and pop them in the oven. They bake fast, so keep an eye out. You’re just waiting for the edges to turn slightly golden.
- Let them cool a bit, and that’s it.
Tips for the Best Cake Mix Cookies
A couple of little pointers to make them perfect!
Don’t overbake. These are done the moment the edges turn slightly golden. Pull them then, and they’ll stay wonderfully soft as they cool.
Coat them well in powdered sugar. A generous roll gives you that signature crinkle-cookie look once they spread in the oven.
Watch them closely. Every oven runs a little differently, so start checking at the 5-minute mark so they don’t overbrown.
Change Them Up
Once you’ve got the base down, this little recipe is so fun to play with!
Swap the flavor. Any boxed cake mix works, so try lemon, funfetti, or chocolate for a whole new cookie.
Stir in some add-ins. White chocolate chips or a handful of sprinkles fold right into the dough.
Make them festive. Perfect pink for Valentine’s Day, baby showers, or a springtime treat.
