Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until a thick dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow dish.
- Scoop the dough into balls, about 1 tablespoon each. Roll each dough ball completely in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
- Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
- Bake for 9 to 11 minutes. The cookies will look slightly underbaked in the center when you remove them.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. The tops will develop a crinkle as they cool.
Notes
- For a variation, gently fold 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips into the dough before rolling.
- To make a simple glaze, whisk 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
- These cookies are excellent for holidays like Valentine’s Day or as a quick sweet snack.
