How to Make this

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, pour in the entire box of strawberry cake mix and crack in the 2 eggs. Stir everything together until the mixture is well combined.

3. Grab a tablespoon (or use a cookie scoop if you have one) and form small cookie balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on your cookie sheet.

4. Pop the tray in the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges look set and just starting to get golden.

5. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.

6. While the cookies are cooling, melt the 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate is smooth.

7. Dip the top of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, letting any extra drip back into the bowl.

8. Lay the dipped cookies on a fresh piece of parchment paper and let the chocolate set up, which might take about 10 minutes.

FAQ

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Instead of using a box of 15.25 oz strawberry cake mix you might use 2 1/2 cups of a homemade cake mix to control the flavors even more
• Substitute the 2 large eggs with 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce each egg usually works great if you dont mind a slightly moist texture
• If you dont have semisweet chocolate chips try using dark chocolate chips or even a mix of milk and white chocolate chips for a different twist

Pro Tips

1. Try using a cookie scoop if you have one so every cookie comes out the same size and they bake evenly even if the dough is a bit sticky.
2. Chill the dough for about 15 minutes if it seems too soft; this helps the cookies keep their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
3. When melting the chocolate, stir it every 30 seconds in the microwave to avoid burning and to get a really smooth dip.
4. Make sure your cookies are completely cool before dipping them in the chocolate, otherwise the chocolate might melt off and not stick as well.
