Ingredients
Scale
1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix with a spoon or electric mixer until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Pour the powdered sugar into a shallow dish.
Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoons and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Roll each dough ball completely in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
Place the coated balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely. The powdered sugar coating will set into a crinkle pattern as they cool.
Notes
For a richer strawberry flavor, use a brand of cake mix that includes real fruit pieces if available.
If you want a slightly thicker cookie, chill the dough for 15 minutes before rolling and baking.
For a variation, add 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips to the dough mixture.
