Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 15.25-ounce box 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 Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, large eggs, softened salted butter, strawberry syrup, lemon juice, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are completely combined to form a smooth dough.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Scoop and Space Dough: Using a small 2-inch cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing each scoop about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are just set and lightly colored. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and crumbly.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or plate for serving.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze cookies to keep them fresh for a few months.
- Handle cookies gently when storing, as they are soft and crumbly and can break easily.
- Remove cookies from the oven as soon as edges are set to avoid overbaking and browning.
- A light golden brown on the edges is acceptable, but avoid dark browning.
