Equipment

Kitchen Scale (optional)
2 Baking Sheet
Cookie Portion Scoop

Ingredients

15.25 ounces Strawberry Cake Mix 432 grams (1 box), such as Betty Crocker
1 teaspoon baking powder 4 grams
2 large eggs 100 grams
⅓ cup vegetable oil 67 grams
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract 2 grams
1 cup white chocolate chips 170 grams

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and baking powder until well combined.
15.25 ounces Strawberry Cake Mix, 1 teaspoon baking powder
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, and vanilla together by hand.
2 large eggs, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with cake mix and stir with a spoon until a dough forms. Be sure to fully combine. Mix in the white chocolate chips.
1 cup white chocolate chips
Using a small portion scoop, drop rounded balls of the dough onto your baking sheet. These cookies flatten out quite a bit, so make sure the balls are taller than they are wide, and give them quite a bit of space between each cookie.
Bake for 9-10 minutes. Do not let them brown in the oven. They will appear slightly undercooked, but that is a good thing. They will firm up and flatten as they cool. When you take them out, you can add a couple more white chocolate chips to the top to make them look pretty (this is a little food blogger trick!)
Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.

Notes

Don't overbake the cookies. I made this mistake a few times! I like these a little bit gooey on the inside and slightly browned on the outside. When you see the pink begin to brown, get them out of the oven stat!
Add more white chocolate chips after you bake. That's right, this is the oldest blogger food pic trick in the book! Once you take the cookies out of the oven and place them on a cooling rack, add more fresh white chocolate chips to the top. It will make your Pink Cookies look loaded with chocolate chips and you'll look like an experienced baker. High fives!
If you want to make variations of this recipe, you can use any type of cake mix! The sky is the limit.

Storage: Store strawberry cake mix cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
