Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
Instructions
1
Preheat Oven to 350℉.
2
In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, strawberry jello mix, softened butter, softened cream cheese and egg. Use a hand-mixer on medium speed to mix combined.
3
Use a Tablespoon to scoop the dough and roll into balls. Place onto an ungreased baking sheet. Use the palm of your hand or the bottom of a flat glass to gently flatten the dough balls.
4
Bake in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes.
5
To create a perfect circle shape for your cookies, immediately after baking, use the circular ring of a mason jar lid, a circular cookie cutter, or the rim of a large glass and place over the top of each cookie. Move the object in a circular pattern around the cookie allowing it to gently touch the edges and reshape the cookie into a circle. This method only works when cookies are soft and fresh out of the oven.
6
Once reshaped into circles, use a spatula to carefully transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
7
To add the white chocolate drizzle to the cookies: Add white chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl and microwave on 50% power until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Transfer melted white chocolate to a sandwich bag. Snip off a small corner of the bag and drizzle the white chocolate in a back and forth pattern over the top of each cookie.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Dough for Better Shape 🧊Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and help the cookies maintain their shape and texture, especially important since cake mix is more delicate than traditional flour.
- Bloom the Jello Powder 🍓Mix the strawberry Jello powder with softened cream cheese before adding other ingredients to ensure even strawberry flavor distribution throughout every cookie without lumps.
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️Let cream cheese, butter, and eggs sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before mixing to create a smooth, emulsified batter that incorporates the cake mix evenly and prevents overmixing.
- Don't Overmix After Adding Cake Mix 🎂Fold in the gluten-free cake mix gently with a spatula rather than using an electric mixer, as overmixing develops gluten alternatives and creates tough, dense cookies instead of tender ones.
- Toast White Chocolate Chips First ✨Lightly toast the white chocolate chips in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to the dough to intensify their flavor and create a more sophisticated, buttery taste that complements the strawberry.
