What makes cake mix cookies so good?

Cake mix cookies are cookies made with cake mix, which has the common dry ingredients already measured out, rather than measuring out the dry ingredients from scratch.

I like that using cake mix means that I do not have to purchase a bunch of ingredients I may not ever use again.

Tips for making the best strawberry cake mix cookies.

The strawberry flavoring and coloring for the cookies comes from sugar free strawberry jello. You can swap out the strawberry jello with another flavor for a different color or flavor.

More helpful tips for you.

1. Refrigerating the cookie dough before baking the cookies can help make firmer and less fluffy cookies. This is an optional step however, since these cookies are intended to be soft and on the fluffy side.
2. Melted butter is used for both flavor and to make this a more tender cookie. Using oil (six tablespoons in this recipe) on the other hand will make these cookies more dense.
3. Using a cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough will ensure that your cookies are all a similar size and shape.
4. I like to press additional chocolate chips into the tops of my cookies just before baking or while they are still soft to make them look even better.
5. Yellow or white cake mix works best in this recipe. The jello will add the flavor and color to these cookies.
6. Lastly, these cookies will be somewhat soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. Allowing them to sit on the warm baking sheet will help them set in the center.

How to make Sugar Free Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

Prep Time: 15 minutes .
Bake Time: 10-12 minutes. .
Servings: 24 cookies .

1. Preheat your oven to 325. Prepare your baking sheets for nonstick. I like to use parchment paper or a baking mat for a recipe such as this one.
2. Place your dry cake mix and jello mix into a large mixing bowl and use a whisk to combine them and to break up any lumps.
3. In a medium bowl, combine together melted and cooled butter, the eggs, and the vanilla extract. Transfer this to the large mixing bowl and mix the ingredients until just combined. Then use a rubber spatula or similar item to fold in the white chocolate chips.
4. Your dough may seem thick and sticky (which is okay). If it seems to be too thick and sticky for you to work with simply refrigerate the dough for five to ten minutes to set a bit.
5. Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough, roll the dough into balls, and then place the cookie balls and inch and a half to two inches apart from one another on the baking sheet. The cookies will spread while they bake so there is no need to press them in place. You can however, press additional chocolate chips into the tops of the cookie balls.
6. Bake your cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers will still be soft.
7. Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to fully cool.

Expert Tip 👉 For a deeper color you can add a drop or two of food coloring to the cookie batter.
