Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 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 sheet: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the strawberry cake mix, large eggs, softened salted butter, strawberry syrup, lemon juice, and baking soda until the mixture is completely combined and smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop dough onto sheet: Using a small 2-inch cookie scoop, place the dough onto the prepared sheet pan, making sure to leave about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes or until the edges have just set. Avoid over-baking; the edges should not be golden brown.
- Cool and serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 4 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate. Enjoy fresh or store appropriately.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the cookies to keep them fresh for several months.
- Handle cookies gently as they are soft and crumbly and can break easily.
- Remove cookies from oven just when the edges are set but not browned to ensure soft texture.
