Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, softened salted butter, strawberry syrup, lemon juice, and baking soda. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Fold in the white chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Scoop Dough: Using a 2-inch cookie scoop, place dough mounds onto the prepared cookie sheet, spacing each scoop about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are set but not browned. Remove promptly to avoid over-baking.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 4 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or plate to cool completely and serve.
Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- For longer storage, freeze the cookies as they keep well in the freezer for a few months.
- Handle cookies gently as they are soft and crumbly, which can cause them to break easily.
- Remove cookies from the oven once edges are set and slightly firm, but avoid letting the edges turn golden brown to prevent overcooking and dryness.
