Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies are soft, sweet, and great for any occasion. Made with only 6 pantry ingredients, they are such an easy baking hack for creating a delicious cookie in a flash!
Servings: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 16 ounce box strawberry cake mix
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup red, pink, and white sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix and baking powder. Add in the oil, eggs, and almond extract; mix with a wooden spoon until completely combined and no pockets of cake mix remain (dough will be thick and sticky.)
- Refrigerate the dough for 25-30 minutes. (This is optional, but it really makes the sticky dough easier to work with.)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, form dough into 1-inch balls.
- Pour the 1/2 cup of sprinkles onto a plate. Roll the balls of dough around in the sprinkles to coat.
- Place cookie balls on the prepared baking sheets, at least 2 inches apart, since they will spread. (You might have to bake in batches.)
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are set (you don't want them to brown, so watch them carefully. They will appear slightly undercooked, but will firm up and flatten as they cool.)
- Allow to cool on baking sheet for several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy with a tall glass of milk!
