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 and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Mix the dough: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Use a handheld mixer on medium speed to blend the ingredients until just combined; the dough will be thick.
- Form and bake cookies: Using a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes after baking.
- Prepare the glaze: While the cookies bake, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and half and half in a small bowl until smooth.
- Cool and glaze: Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cooled, spoon the glaze over the cookies and allow it to set before serving.
Notes
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days; separate layers with wax paper.
- Freeze cookie dough balls for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding 5-7 minutes to baking time.
- Add white chocolate chips to the dough for extra flavor and texture.
- Use a 1-tablespoon scoop for smaller cookies and reduce baking time to 8 minutes accordingly.
- For an egg-free version, substitute the 2 eggs with 1/2 cup applesauce.
- Allow cookies to rest on the cookie sheet after baking to finish setting before transferring to a rack.
- Wait until cookies are completely cooled before applying glaze to avoid melting.
