Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 box 15.25-ounce strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- 1½ tbsp strawberry syrup
- 3 tbsp lemon juice (about one lemon)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, softened salted butter, strawberry syrup, lemon juice, and baking soda. Stir well until the mixture is completely combined and smooth.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
- Scoop Cookies: Use a small 2-inch cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes, or until the edges are set but not browned, aiming for a lightly golden edge without deep browning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain softness.
- For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a sealed container for several months.
- Handle cookies gently when storing as they are soft and crumbly and can break easily.
- Remove cookies from the oven just as the edges set; overbaking will cause hard, browned edges and a less tender texture.
