Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 15.25 ounces box strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons half and half
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Make Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Use a handheld mixer on medium speed to mix until just combined, forming a very thick dough.
- Scoop and Bake: Using a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes until edges are just barely golden.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and half and half until smooth.
- Glaze Cookies: Once cookies are completely cooled, spoon the glaze over the top and allow it to set before serving.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days; separate layers of cookies with wax paper.
- Freeze cookie dough balls for up to 2 months; bake directly from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes extra baking time.
- Optional: Add white chocolate chips to the cookie dough for extra flavor.
- Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop for smaller cookies; reduce baking time to 8 minutes.
- Egg substitute: ½ cup applesauce can replace the eggs for an egg-free version.
- Let cookies rest 5 minutes on the sheet before transferring to rack.
- Only glaze cookies once they are completely cooled to prevent melting.
