Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 15.25 ounces box strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Strawberry Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons half and half
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Make the Cookie Dough: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Using a handheld mixer on medium speed, mix just until the ingredients are combined. The dough will be very thick.
- Scoop and Bake Cookies: Use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the lined cookie sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes or until edges are just barely golden.
- Cool Before Glazing: Allow the cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes after baking, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely while you make the glaze.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and half and half until smooth and well combined.
- Glaze the Cookies: Once the cookies are fully cooled, spoon the glaze over each cookie evenly. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Use wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Freeze cookie dough balls for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, increasing baking time by 5-7 minutes.
- You can add white chocolate chips to the cookie dough for extra flavor.
- For smaller cookies, use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop and reduce baking time to 8 minutes.
- To make this egg-free, substitute ½ cup applesauce for the eggs.
- Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking to firm up before moving to a rack.
- Wait until cookies are completely cool before glazing to ensure the glaze sets properly.
