Oops I did it again. One last cake mix cookie for you.
Devil’s Food? check! Vanilla? check! Now it’s time for pink to take over. A whole lotta pink.
I know many of you aren’t fond of using boxed mixes in recipes.
I’m on the fence about it. I love it for its convenience and the cake batter taste it gives desserts, but nothing can truly beat a brownie made from scratch. I’ve made some fantastic cake batter flavored treats without using cake mix at all, too. It IS possible. Hello, Cake Batter Sugar Cookies and Cupcake Puppy Chow (both = no cake mix!).
Regardless, I haven’t been able to pin down a fantastic strawberry-dough based cookie recipe without using it, so I picked up a box of Duncan Hines strawberry cake mix the other day and things got even more pink around these parts. I know you’ll love these. 
The real reason I made these? Valentine’s Day is coming up! Not that I needed an excuse for a pink cookie, but it conveniently fits the part.
I took my Confetti Cake Batter Cookie recipe, subbed strawberry cake mix for vanilla and chocolate chips for the sprinkles. It’s truly the easiest cookie recipe you’ll ever find, especially for how soft, puffy, thick, and perfect they come out.
You’ll literally ask yourself HOW on earth a cookie this good can start from a box. Well, it does.
The dough combines 6 simple ingredients: strawberry cake mix, eggs, oil, baking powder, vanilla, and chocolate chips. Everything may come together by hand. The dough is quite dense and thick, so you’ll definitely need a bit of elbow grease to mix everything together. It’s also very oily. But do NOT worry, the cookies will still bake up thick and puffy. With strawberry chocolate chips cookies as the finished product, you definitely didn’t hear me complaining about using my arm muscles to get there. 
** Note: if you’d like to sift your dry cake mix to get out all of the lumps before combining with the rest of the ingredients, be my guest. But everthing came together nicely for me without taking that extra step. **
There is also no dough-chilling required. I chill my dough for nearly every single cookie I bake – the most recent exception is my recipe for Homemade Oatmeal Creme Pies – no need to wait around for the dough to get cold and moldable. The same goes for today’s cookies. Bypass all of that and stick these cake mix cookies right into the oven.
Only 20 minutes start to finish! Easy AND quick cookies? Oh yeah!
I rolled the dough balls a bit larger than my previous cake mix cookies, about 2.5 Tablespoons of dough go into each dough ball. Feel free to make these any size you want – adjust the baking time accordingly and watch that they do not brown. A few of mine got a bit brown on top because I left them in 1 extra minute by mistake. That’s what I get for trying to vacuum as I bake.
Cleaning < baking.
Be sure to roll your balls of dough to be “taller” rather than wide. I talked about the “tall” trick here. If thick cookies are your goal, make sure you don’t miss that!
{sidenote: do you know how hard it is to shoot pink cookies without them looking like the pink goo from Ghostbusters? This was quite a challenging photo shoot!}
Ok, back to these glorious gems. Texture wise, these cookies and very soft and light. They retain that soft-baked consistency that I know you love (and so do I!). While they come from cake mix, they are not cakey in the slightest.
They are soft in the center, but very chewy around the edges. Moist, melting in your mouth – no dry crumbs in sight. And I LOVE how puffy and thick they turned out. You have the baking powder to thank for all that lift.
What about their taste? The strawberry taste isn’t overpowering at all. In fact, I don’t even like strawberry cake but when baked into pink cookie form? I’m all about it. Erin told me they taste like vanilla strawberry shortcake! Kevin couldn’t stop eating them, despite their fabulous girly color.
And all those chocolate chips? I was actually going to add Valentine’s Day sprinkles to these cookies, but the combination of chocolate and strawberries is just one of my favorites. And with a bag of Nestle Morsels staring me in the face, I knew semi-sweet chocolate chips were the strawberry dough’s destiny. You could even go for white chocolate instead!
Mixed with a little oil, chocolate chips, 2 eggs, baking powder and vanilla, strawberry cake mix is the base of what may be the prettiest and softest cookie I’ve ever baked.
Cookies are pretty in pink.

makes about 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box (18.25 oz) strawberry cake mix (like Duncan Hines)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable/canola oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and baking powder. Set aside. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, and vanilla by hand. Add the egg mixture to the cake mixture and stir to form a dough- stir vigorously until all of the pockets of dry cake mix are gone. Gently mix in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded balls of dough, about 2.5 Tablespoons each, onto prepared baking sheet. Stick a few more chocolate chips on top of the cookie dough balls if you want them for looks, if desired. Make sure the balls of dough are taller than they are wide. See here for more details.
- Bake for 10 minutes – do not let the cookies get brown. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes; they will be very soft at first. As they cool, the tops may settle down; press them down gently with your fingers if they are not sinking much. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container, for up to one week.

If you’re not a fan of using cake mix, you may enjoy my Cake Batter Sugar Cookies (no cake mix!) instead. Use 1 drop of red food dye to make them pink and add strawberry extract if you can find some instead of the butter extract called for:
Or even my Cupcake Puppy Chow (no cake mix!)
My Confetti Cake Batter Cookies are the same recipe as today, but using white cake mix and sprinkles instead. These were so popular over the holidays! Try using pink, white, and red sprinkles for Valentine’s Day.
If you love strawberry and chocolate together, you must try my Chocolate Covered Strawberry Muffins!
Even though there is no chocolate involved, how could I not show you my Strawberry Frosted Donuts again? They are baked donuts that are low in fat, but high in vanilla and strawberry taste.
Do you have any favorite recipes using strawberry cake mix or fresh strawberries?

This is such a PRETTY cookie! So Valentines-y.
And I totally don’t mind cake-mix cookies once in a while. Actually, while we are traveling and when we get lucky to have an oven for a while I prefer box mixes. Much simpler than stocking up on all scratch ingredients

Hi Regina! Thank you so much… you can’t go wrong with pretty pink cookies. I love how bright they are on camera and in real life. How can you not smile eating one of these?
Aww they look so pretty, photos look gorgeous!
Thank you Tania! You are so sweet.
Beautiful! Love love love the pink. I began making cake mix cookies a few years ago, and no matter what the combo of ingredients, they always seem to be a huge hit! I love this new combo, Sally! Perfect for Valentine’s Day

Thanks Colleen! I need to go check out your wedding Wednesdays post today!
I’ve seen pictures of this recipe ALL over Pinterest, and never once thought it was a cake mix. Glad to see that they’re this easy to make! I’d love to make these cookies for Valentines Day, although I wouldn’t be opposed to year ’round!
Avery @ Southern Belle Living Well recently posted..Preportioned Condiments Make Me Happy
Avery, they are SO easy to make. Only about 20 minutes start to finish. I think I need to make these year round as well, especially for my friend’s daughter. How can you not love a pink cookie? Thanks Avery!
made these for Valentines day and my 13 th anniversary I am so NOT a baker but they came out great everyone loved them Ilove your blog the birthday cake fudge was also a hit at Christmas your recipes are fun , new and pretty easy to duplicate even for me Congrats on your engagement But please don’t make your own cake, sit back and have others make everything for you Be queen for the day!
Hey Chemin! What a sweet comment. Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed these cookies and the cake batter fudge.
Thank you for the congrats, too! Don’t worry, I won’t be baking my own wedding cake. 
So perfect for Valentine’s Day!! I love it!! My Step-daughter is a strawberry freak and loves the cake mix. I have to make her the cookies!!!
Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers recently posted..Individual Baked Oatmeal Cups
I made strawberry cake mix cookies about this time last year b/c there were no from-scratch recipes that I deemed worth the effort, expenses, time consuming, etc when a box of cake mix would do quite nicely. And it did that for you, too!
They’re so perfect, Sally! And I like that you made them a litttle bigger. I always roll my balls taller rather than wider but it’s so dry here, many times I have to squish them down or they just stay tall. Like a big puffball.
The cake mix I used wasn’t Duncan Hines, it was Pillsbury and normally I used to buy D.H. but went with Pillsbury’s strawberry mix and it gave GREAT strawberry flavor in case you ever play around more
They’re beautiful!
Averie @ Averie Cooks recently posted..Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Thank you Averie! I’ve only used Pillsbury mixes to bake cakes or cupcakes – back when I was in college and poor/lazy, but never for cookies. I’ll give that brand a try if I make cake mix cookies again! I’ve had requests at work to make my Confetti/Funfetti version for Vday so I should try the Funfetti Pillsbury brand next!
I had great strawberry flavor with these when I made them over a year ago – wow, time flies! They were super soft and moist and without being doctored up in any real way, the strawberry flavor was very nice!

Hey Sally
I haven’t been able to find many boxed cake mixes here in Spain, do you reckon it would work with *ahem* strawberry nesquick powder and homemade cake batter? I’m tempted to give it a go.
Awesome photos, I can imagine how much they didn’t want to cooperate!!

Ibbs recently posted..Honey & Mustard Chicken Wraps
I do not recommend Nesquick here – the two are completely different formulas and two completely different products. I would suggest making regular cookies and adding Strawberry nesquick into the mix, but NOT using nesquick as the base of the recipe.
You certainly can’t go wrong with strawberry and chocolate! And I’m totally not above using cake mix for convenience

These are absolutely gorgeous! Strawberry cake is one of my favorites (in theory…I’m not crazy about cake in general), but strawberry cake cookies sound just fabulous. Well, even if the photoshoot was really difficult, you did a great job, as always. The cookies don’t look like strawberry-chocolate goo…althought I think I’d happily eat strawberry chocolate goo.
Hey Caley! My favorite Caley! I am the same as you! I am NOT a fan of strawberry cake either, but I love it in cookies. And I’m up for strawberry chocolate goo anytime…!
These are so pretty in pink!! I’m totally on the fence about baking mixes too. I know they are tools and can be transformed into something even more fabulous, but I kind of miss the comfort of measuring every component myself. That being said, however, I would definitely make an exception for these! I adore strawberry. And pink. And fluffy, puffy cookies. Sold!
Erin | The Law Student’s Wife recently posted..Carrot Quinoa Muffins
Cute, festive, delicious AND pink! What more could I ask for???
Maybe some sprinkles! Nah, these are perfect on their own. Kudos to you (once again) for thinking of a delicious recipe!
Madison recently posted..Tone-It-Up Tuesday: Love Your Abs Routine
Hey Madison! Thanks so much. I think I might try white chocolate next time. Maybe some sprinkles too.
Sally, I grew up on chocolate cake cookies! Our recipe was a devil’s food mix, 2 eggs, and half a cup of oil. When the cookies came out hot, we put one section of a Hershey bar on each, let them melt a little, spread them around, and then sprinkled! So yummy and easy. It was always my mom’s most-requested recipe, and she was embarrassed at how easy it is!
These pink strawberry cookies are SO pretty! I wonder how they would taste with the Hershey bar “frosting” and sprinkles instead of chocolate chips. I’ll let you know if I try it! I’m thinking about making these and a red velvet/white chocolate version for Valentine’s Day!
Lizzie, that cookie sounds incredible. Especially with all that melty chocolate on top. I am craving one of those with my morning coffee right now. Is that bad?
I might have to try these strawberry cookies with that “frosting” next time! Let me know how they go if you do it Lizzie!
Oh these are so cutttee! And I’ve actually been craving strawberries lately. And Pink things. Though the craving for pink things is pretty much an all around occurrence for me
. And they absolutely do NOT look like pink goo so great job on the photos!

Hey Jess! Thank you so much. Eating a pink cookie is just so fun!

We must be twins or something, Sally! I totally made strawberry cake mix cookies this weekend with white and semi-sweet chips inside to mimic the classic Neapolitan flavor I love so much! Yours are beyond gorgeous and I love your baking powder addition–wow, does it puff these guys up real nice! I’m going to have to try that trick next time I break out a cake mix cookie recipe, which you know me–is practically on a daily basis haha

First thought that came to mind when I saw pink cookies was, “My 6 year old daughter would love these for Valentine’s Day!” Super cute.
Plus, strawberries + chocolate = winning!
Herbivore Triathlete recently posted..Homemade Veggie Wash
Ha! Winning is right.
Thanks Anna!!
I’ve got a batch of these in the oven as I’m typing this. I substituted 2 kinds of Valentine’s sprinkles for the chocolate chips and applesauce for the oil (I had neither at home?? How does that happen?) Anywho, I found the dough to be very sticky and I could not roll the dough but dropped them by the 1/8 cup full onto the baking sheet instead. These are some LARGE cookies!
Anna {Herbivore Triathlete} recently posted..Saturday Morning Fitness Motivation
Hey Anna! Oh gosh I’ve ran out of chocolate chips before and they were for a peanut butter cookie. Not sure how those would do with sprinkles! Glad s[rinkles worked here though. The doughy is oil with oil, so I can imagine the dough being sticky with apple sauce. I know, these cookies are huge!
Oh my, these look scrumptious, Sally! Loving the combination of strawberry cake and chocolate chips. Yum!

Hi Morgan! I can’t resist the pink either.
You could probably make my Cake Batter Sugar Cookies (no cake mix) with a drop of red food dye, but they wouldn’t be strawberry flavored. Regardless, I love pink!
Thanks for the tip Sally! I love that idea

Great idea! Maybe next time.
Do you have any tips for measuring the size of the scoops?
Hey Meredith! I mentioned that each ball of cookie dough should be 2.5 tablespoons each. I don’t have any weight for you in ounces, but if you measure 2 Tablespoons then 1/2 Tbsp, that is how much dough I used for each cookie. Thank you!
These are so pretty! I’m sending this recipe to my sister-in-law who is throwing a princess party for her daughter. What better than pink cookies at a Princess birthday party?!
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes recently posted..Crispy Baked Pork Spring Rolls

Is it bad that the Britney Spears song popped in my head when I read the first sentence? haha anyway, these cookies look awesome. I’m with you and using cake mix-there are times when it’s helpful, but nothing beats homemade. But I definitely find myself reaching for cake mix and jazzing it up a bit. Can’t be the ease of using it! These are perfect for Valentines Day coming up. And the strawberry chocolate flavor combo is always a winner!
And you did an awesome job making these cookies look delicious and totally opposite from Ghostbusters goo.

Oh sally..i can’t get the cake mix in the UK…any ideas? Can i use vanilla cake mix…but what to add to it..i suspect strawberry flavouring just won’t cut it!
i am desperate to make these!!
Hi Sam – I suggest baking my Cake Batter sugar Cookies with a drop of red food dye to obtain the pink color and adding chocolate chips. I’ve never used strawberry extract before, but adding that would help. Like I mentioned above, I haven’t been able to find a cookie exactly like this without cake mix. http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/08/16/cake-batter-sugar-cookies/
These are gorgeous… I have to say I’ve never heard of strawberry cookies before

Okay, so I’m pretty sure I’ve told you I hate strawberries, but I have this weird love for strawberry cake made from the cake mix. It’s probably the least healthy way to eat strawberry anything, but it’s the ONLY way I like it, and I would be all over these cookies! PS, I don’t see anything wrong with using a box every once in a while if you add your own twist to it!
Ari @ Ari’s Menu recently posted..Vegan Tres Leches Cake
That is too funny Ari – because we are the opposites! I don’t like strawberry cake, but I love the mix made into cookies, AND I love real strawberries. I think you’d like the mix made into cookies too!

i’d love a light blue chocolate chip cookie for an upcoming boy’s baby shower. do you think this could work? thanks!!!
Hi Erin! That will most definitely work! I would add one drop at first and then add another if you want them a darker blue. Thanks Erin, these would be perfect cookies for that occasion!
Oh fun! These are my kind of Valentines Day dessert – much more straightforward than an actual cake (which I’ve attempted on previous valentines days….too. much. effort.) I nearly forgot about the strawberry cake mix – love that stuff!

I’ve literally been making this exact recipe with that exact cake mix for years. I don’t know how you got into my head but I’m enjoying the blog regardless.
That is TOO funny Hali!! And kinda weird!
By the way, when I don’t have chocolate chips, I typically roll mine in powdered sugar before placing them on the cookie sheet. The tops end up looking like they’ve been dusted with snow and he bottoms get a nice sweet carmalized sugar crisp to them.
Also, I’ve tried this recipe with lemon cake mix and it’s just as good. No need for chocolate chips either. Just 1/3 cup oil, 2 eggs or egg whites, and a tablespoon of lemon juice and zest to make it extra lemony. The powdered sugar on the outside balances out the tartness beautifully.
Thanks Hali! I love making them as lemon cookies too! I’ll have to roll them in powdered sugar next time though.
Good thing I’m not one of those people that don’t like boxed mixes, because these sound great! I was looking for something quick to bring to work, and these definitely fit the bill. I try to not buy eggs very often, but these seem work it.

I made these yesterday!! They are soooo YUMMY!! I had to put a third of them in the freezer so I wouldn’t eat them….all day every day….Sooo good. I did not sift the cake mix, and liked the little red specs. My husband — who does not like really sweet things, thought they were not excessively sweet, but perfect with the chocolate chips.
That’s wonderful to hear June! And thank you for writing in to let me know. I love these cookies too.
They are dangerously good!
Sally, I made these cookies and they were a HUGE success. Thanks for posting! Also thanks for the tip to make sure the cookie dough was higher than it was wide at the base, made some really circumferential cookies, which I totally love.
Congratulations on your engagement. Wishing you a lifetime of joy and happiness from Alabama
Thank you SO SO much for the congrats Memorie, that means a lot!
I made these cookies for a family get together last weekend. Everyone went CRAZY over them! They are so good and easy to make. I was asked multiple times where I found the recipe… after having to come clean and admit that they weren’t my genius idea, I told them about your blog. Thank you for all the delicious recipes!
Niki, thank you for spreading the word about my recipe! And I’m so glad you loved them – as well as everyone else! Such an easy cookie to make. That’s why I love them!
Going to make these beautiful pink cookies of yours for my sons Valentines Day party. Thinking about making red velvet cake mix cookies for red cookies with white chocolate chips!!!
They would be fabulous as red velvet with white chocolate chips. They’d be so pretty too – vibrant red! I love white chocolate and red velvet together. Thanks Natasha!
I do have a question for you. How do I make the cookies “tall”? I was going to use my measuring spoons to get the 2.5 tablespoons I need for each cookie, but they are going to be too rounded when I lay them on the cookie sheet..
Hi Natasha! After you scoop the rounded dough with a cookie scoop, mold them with your fingers to make them a bit taller. That’s what I did. Hope this helps!
Awesome!!! Thank u!!!
WOW! These deserve 5 stars! I am such a fan of easy recipes, and this one was perfect! I was almost positive they weren’t going to come out good or like yours because after mixing the ingredients together it seemed so oily.. The chocolate chips were like sliding out of the dough! They ended up coming out just perfect! Thanks again for a wonderful recipe!
Danielle – I know, the dough is quite oily but they bake up perfectly.
And they are SO easy! Thanks for reporting back and I’m so glad you love them!
Mhmm. I knew it! No strawberry cake mix over here.
But oh my gosh. These cookies with white chocolate and I’d die. Just die.
So I’m actually happy I don’t have strawberry cake mix. YAY!
I can continue living.

Can you tell me how many cookies a batch makes? I need 40 for my twin girls preschool valentines party. Great idea, thank you!
Hi Maria – it’s written above in the recipe – makes about 2 dozen cookies. Sorry you missed it! So, go with 2 batches. Thank you!
Hi Sally, I am going to try these today as I am a big fan of strawberry and chocolate! I do live in Denver Colorado and I was wondering if you knew if anything in your recipe needs adjusting due to high altitude? Thank You so much for this recipe.
Hey Jill! These cookies won’t need any adjustments baking at high altitude. The dough is pretty oily and they bake up quite puffy. I have a friend who made them who lives in Utah and they came out perfectly for her! Good luck, you’ll love these! Thanks Jill!
I live at 6,500 feet and made no alterations. They turned out perfectly. Also, In case anyone is wondering about using the new slightly smaller cake mixes that are out( 15 oz.) that is what I used. My store only had a Pillsbury strawberry cake mix and I just went with that. I prefer Duncan Hines in general and If I made them again I would look for one of those, but had no problem with the Pillsbury. Very good cookies!
Thanks for reporting back Jennifer and letting us know about the other cake mix sizes. I haven’t tried these cookies with Pillsbury yet.
Found these incredibly yummy-looking cookies on Pinterest- I can wait to try them! My hubs is serving overseas and though we are not into making a big deal of Valentine’s Day, it will be a great excuse to make some to send to him! (And of course, keep some for myself!) Looking forward to checking out the rest of the site
Thanks Michele! These are a great cookie to start off with from my website. Everyone loves them! You are a very sweet wife to bake and send some cookies to your husband.
I am totally sold on the cake mix cookies. The last two recipes I’ve tried were delicious. I’m making these for our Valentine potluck at work, for sure!
Hi Michael Ann! I’m glad you’ve tried the other versions of these. The strawberry ones are just so cute and festive. I’m making them again for Valentine’s Day as well! Enjoy.
Hi, Sally! I’m so excited to make these for Valentine’s Day, but I’m debating whether I want to add white or semi-sweet chocolate chips…I think the white might look cuter, but I’m worried about how the taste would be different since the semi-sweet chips you used seem to be a huge hit! Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Hi Monica! Truthfully, I think the white chocolate chips would be amazing in these strawberry cookies! I plan to make them again with white chocolate next week. And I can’t wait! Let me know how you like them!
Cool! White chocolate chips it is!
Thanks Sally!
let me know how they turn out Monica!
Thank you so much for this recipe! It turned out amazing, and it was absolutely delicious!
also super cheap to make at most $5-10. :3
Glad to hear it Sandy! And I’m all about saving money where I can at the rate I bake!
Made these last Monday. My color was awful when compared to the above photos. That said, they were delicious. So much cakey-strawberry flavor, semi-sweet chocolate chips were a great compliment to the sweetness of the cookie/dough portion of this recipe. This blog is a helpful guide for fun, delicious recipes. This is my second comment ever on someone’s blog. My first ever comment was also on your blog. Thanks.
That’s lovely to hear! And I saw your other comment on my cake batter blondies. Thanks for taking the time to report back about both recipes.
I saw a coupon in yesterday’s newspaper for Nestlé dark chocolate chips mixed with red chips for Valentines. I’m going to have to look for them at the store and try them in these cookies!
Dark chocolate and red chips for Valentine’s Day? i need to get my hands on those Lisa! They would be perfect in this recipe! Let me know how they turn out. Thanks Lisa!
I didn’t find the Nestle red chips mixed with dark chips before Valentines at any store but I found them on clearance over the weekend at Target for $ 1.94 so I bought two bags. Since red is my favorite color, I don’t mind using these any time! (Plus I had a $ 1 off coupon on purchase of 2)
Perfect! That’s some good savings right there. I like to buy clearance holiday items after the holidays hit. Always good bargains!
I tried these Strawberry cookies. I wanted a little stronger strawberry flavor, so Iadded 1/2 teaspoon of strawberry extract. That did the trick. My coworkers thought the cookies were awesome. Thanks!!!
That’s a great idea Chelyn! And I’m so glad they were a big hit. I’ve only used strawberry extract a couple times before but I’ll have to try it with these cookies next time
I want to make pink cookies with Dove hearts on top for V-Day (a la Hershey’s Kiss cookies). Do you think this recipe would work for that?
Absolutely, Marin! I think these strawberry cookies would be very cute with a chocolate heart.
I have never made a cake mix cookie before, but I think this will be a great first-time recipe! I have a 6 year old daughter who is going to totally flip when she hears we are making our neighbors pink cookies for Valentines Day! Thanks for sharing
Hey Erin! I think you, your daughter, and your neighbors will love these cookies! And they are so easy to make. How can you not love a pink cookie?!
Sally!
I have an oatmeal raisin recipe that is delish, but bakes flat. How do I fix this, I’d like them to be thick like the strawberry chocolate chip.
Hi Shon. Without knowing anythign about the recipes or how you bake them. I can’t tell you how to make them thicker. You could try my thick Oatmeal Raisinet Cookies and sub the Raisinets for raisins: http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/07/03/thick-oatmeal-raisinet-cookies/
Thanks for the recipe – I altered it and used Funfetti cake mix and Milk Chocolate Chips…SO DELICIOUS!!! Bringing them to a party tonight….Everyone is going to FREAK!!
Kayla! Your version sounds so good! Kind of like my cake batter chocolate chip cookies recipe. Yum! Hope you loved them!
So delicious!! Thank you for the recipe. I’ll be for sure making these again!
That’s great to hear Jessica! I love these cookies too. I’ve made them so many times this past month. Perfect for Valetine’s Day
These look delish! I’m going to try to make them for my husband for valentines day. Will let you know how they turn out! Also, shared one of your other cookie recipes on my blog. Linked it back to you. Hope that was ok!
Hi Jenny! Let me know how these turn out! I simply love them. Thanks for linking back to me on your blog!
I just made these except I used white chocolate chips instead of the semi-sweet. They are yummy, one of the most perfect things I’ve ever baked
I’ve made them before with white chocolate as well. I love them that way!! Thanks for reporting back, Hanna!
Just made a batch of these. They are delicious! What a great spin on chocolate chip cookies
So glad to hear that Kelley! Glad you love them
Just made these for my pre-school kiddos! So cool! So pretty! So EASY! Also made a batch using a white cake mix with cherry chips!!! Thank you!
Hey Pam! I love your idea for white cake mix and cherry chips! I have to try that sometime.
Thanks for letting me know!
I love these cookies. I make a lot of cookies using cake mixes. So easy and they taste great. Thanks for the strawberry idea!
I love homemade cookies but you can’t beat the convenience of cake cookies! Thanks Katrina!
I just made these with white chocolate chips and they turned out wonderful! I kind of want to keep them for my self instead of giving them to my sons teachers like I planned! So festive for Valentines Day! Thanks for the recipe!
Hey Kerry! That’s so great to hear! I’ve made them with white chocolate chips before too. We love them that way! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hi Sally! I was curious if you have ever used coconut oil in place of the canola or vegetable oil? I want to try it but I’m worried it will affect the consistency!
Hey Maggie! You may use melted coconut oil. The dough will be very oily, but that is OK. It’s supposed to be!
I used coconut oil in my version. I actually just posted it today.
http://www.molliessprinklesoflife.com/2013/02/strawberry-cake-mix-cookies.html
I use coconut oil in all my baking and love it! It gives it a great hint of the coconut. Plus its a ton healthier than any other oil.
Mollie @Sprinkles of Life recently posted..Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
Woohoo! Can’t wait to see it Mollie. I love coconut oil.
Thanks girls! I’ll definitely be making them with the coconut oil!
Just made these strawberry cookies for my husband for Valentine’s Day! They are delicious and we both love them! Thank you for a recipe we are sure to use over and over!
Thanks for reporting back Ashley! I’m so glad.
All of your photos are amazing!! And this recipe sounds great too. I know what you mean about using cake mix from a box but sometimes it’s just so much easier
Veronica Sheppard recently posted..Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pancakes
Thank you so much Veronica! And yes, cake mix is fabulous for its convenience. But homemade cookies – there is nothing like them! Strawberry cake mix works in a pinch here.
these are so yummy!!! my boys and I made them for dad tomorrow on vday.
I just love all the recipes iv tried of yours, thank ou I’m so glad I found you!!!
That is wonderful Willow! What a sweet Valetine’s Day treat you all made. I’m so glad you’ve loved many of my recipes! Let me know if you give any others a try.
These look great! I d like to bake in a cake pan so I can cut out heart shaped cookies. Would this work alright? Bake at same temperature? For how long?
Thanks!
Hi Hannah – I’ve never done this before, so I can’t speak from experience. I suggest a 9×13 cake pan at the same temperature for 20-25 minutes. Again, I’ve never tried this before so the time could be a little off. Just watch it closely to prevent browning on top. Great idea!
My cookies are currently baking! Put them in at 10:35. But I don’t have a wire rack and I think they’re about to start sticking together. I think I made them too large. I was a bit too liberal with those 2.5 tbs of dough!
Yep. I definitely made them too large. So large that I was only able to make 14 cookies. 14 GIANT cookies. They’re cute and tasty, but the center is definitely too gooey. But people eat unbaked cookie dough all the time right? Like in ice cream. So I guess no one will die if they eat my giant, slightly unbaked pink cookies.
For future reference, should I have lowered to temperature for giant cookies?
This was my first attempt at baking a cookie that didn’t come premade and precut. I guess I did well for a newbie. Thanks so much for the recipe and your detailed instructions!
Nathalie recently posted..After Work Valentine’s Day Outfit
I would bake them at 325 if you are making them that large. I got 10 more cookies (2 dozen) out of this mix. They are still quite big making 2 dozen. GREAT JOB on the cookies though, especially if it’s your first time making semi-homemade cookies that aren’t premade dough. That’s wonderful Nathalie!
Nathalie! I think they’ll still taste fabulous though.
I have to be sure to not make them TOO big and spread them apart very well before baking on the cookie sheet.
Sally, thanks so much for replying, and for visiting my blog! So glad you liked my Valentine’s Day outfit.
The cookies were a hit. They didn’t end up sticking to each other after all, and once they cooled the dough inside didn’t seem so gooey. I’ll definitely keep the baking temperature tip in mind in the future. Thanks so much once again!!
Nathalie recently posted..After Work Valentine’s Day Outfit
So glad Nathalie! Yep, once the cookies cool and set after being in the oven, they aren’t “gooey” in the slightest. Thank you!
Thanks for the fantastic recipe! I rarely bake anything that’s not from scratch, but these were so quick and easy and turned out fantastic! I LOVE strawberry so I added a touch of strawberry extract and added in some diced dried strawberries with the chocolate chips. The flavor was awesome and I can’t wait to share them tomorrow! I did allow them to brown very slightly before taking them out of the oven; my first tray did not brown and I found them to be a little undercooked in the center and I tend to like a slightly firmer, chewier cookie. I’ve had to pack them up so I stop eating them! Thanks for the great recipe!
Hi Jess! That’s so great, I love your additions of strawberry extract and strawberries! I need to try both next time. I hope everyone enjoys the cookies today. I love how EASY these are!
I replaced chocolate chips with white chocolate chips…amazing!
I’ve tried that before too! It is amazing, you’re right!
Thinking “out loud”… Would it work to substitute some or all of the oil with either applesauce (plain or berry flavored) or with mashed banana? It would be such a fun flavor combo and make them a little more health-friendly.
Hey Erin! You could try subbing yogurt for the oil. Or even coconut oil. Enjoy!
I made these for my daughter’s Valentine’s party today. However, I needed more, but didn’t have a strawberry cake mix, so I used cherry chip cake mix. We all liked them even more than the strawberry!!! And with the white cake w/red cherry chips, it was still festive. So, there is another alternative for you:)
I’ve never seen cherry chip cake mix before! I’m intrigued. It sounds amazing. So glad you could make all the cookies you needed. Cake mix cookies are so convenient.
Sally, I have a question for you.. Could I use maybe two tablespoons for the cookies or less instead of 2 1/2 ??
You sure can!
hi i dont have strawberry cake mix, what can i put in then?
Hi Abby, the base of the cake mix cookies are strawberry cake mix so it would be difficult to recreate this cookie without it. You may make my Cake Batter Sugar Cookies with some red food dye, strawberry extract, and add chocolate chips though: http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2012/08/16/cake-batter-sugar-cookies/
These were delicious. The girls and I made them for our Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen time. So simple (though I didn’t expect them to be so oily as we were rolling them out). We had them for dessert for dinner last night (Valentine’s Day dinner). I shared the link to this post in my Valentine’s Day post on my blog Tots and Me and I will also be adding the link when I post my Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen post.
Thank you for this great recipe.
kewkew recently posted..Happy Valentine’s Day: Some special meals
Yep the dough is oily, as I stated but they bake up quite puffy. So glad you enjoyed them and that you linked to them. So sweet of you.
Trying these with my daughter this morning. So easy! Thank you for the detailed instructions! They are in the oven now and they smell like strawberries!
I hope you all enjoy them Becky!
I made these for Valentine’s day using white chocolate chips and added some Valentine themed sprinkles on top of each cookie before baking. This was my first time making a cake mix cookie and wow! So good! And so pretty – all pink and white and red. I used my large Wilton cookie scoop, which is 3 Tbsp. I had reservations about making such a large cookie, but the mid-size seemed too small. They turned out so big and fat and soft and puffy, oh my! Yum! I did find that flattening them a bit with the bottom of a measuring cup before baking worked best. And they seem impossibly raw and soft when they first start showing signs of browning, but you really do need to take them out and let them cool completely and they will be perfect. Thanks so much for this recipe!
Hi Gwen! I love your version of them. Sounds just fabulous. I am always up for adding sprinkles to cookies
The cookies do look quite soft and undone but they firm up as they cool, like you experienced. Thank you so much for the report back! I always love hearing about it.
This looks so good. Just wondering if anyone has tried it with the new cake mix size (15 oz)?
Nirupama recently posted..Project Life: Love you to the Moon and Back
I’ve made them with betty crocker’s 15 oz box – not problem at all, truly. The dough will be a little oily, but they will still bake up normally. Thanks!
I was only able to find a Pillsbury strawberry cake mix, which was 14.75 oz I think, and it worked just fine. These cookies are sooooooo good. Bake them! You won’t regret it.
Thanks Gwen! =)
OMG Sally, this is genius. I’m making these right now as I type. The first tray just came out of the oven. They look as pretty as the picture. And oh so delicious. I can’t stop eating them. This batch is a “trial run” for a baby shower I am having in April. Thank you so very much for your passion and posting of these on Pinterst. I’m sure they will be a hit of the party.
Do you know if they freeze well? I would like to make them ahead and freeze them. I’m going to freeze this trial batch and see what happens. I’m sure they will be fine.
Again, thank you Sally
Hi Jo Ann – these are PERFECT cookies for a baby shower! Ahh! Oh and I’m so glad you found them on Pinterest. I love Pinterest.
The cookies freeze well – you could make them now for the party in April. Just let them thaw before serving. Have fun at the shower!
Made these today with my daughter, and they are delicious!
Thank you!
That’s great to hear Sam! I’m glad you both enjoy them.
Another success! These were soooo pretty and smelled wonderful. I like crunch so I left them in the oven a few minutes longer, which did brown them a little but didn’t bother me. I’ve made cookies just three times in my life, two of which were inspired by your recipes. I’m encouraged to make more. Eyeing the white chocolate chip cranberry cookies next! I may have found a new hobby (obsession?) and I have you to thank for, Sally!
Hey Elizabeth! Thank you so much for letting me know how much you loved these cookies! Baking cookies is most definitely a hobby/obsession of mine as well. Hope you like those white chocolate cranberry cookies next!
Just made these, only used red velvet cake instead and white chocolate chips. They smell wonderful and I can’t wait to try one.
Hey Kristen! I have yet to try these cookies w/ red velvet mix. I can imagine how amazing they are!
Just finished making these and they are so delicious! It’s a nice little treat and the cookies are actually quite big. I had just gotten a cookie scoop, and I love how it makes perfect cookies
My 22mth old loves them too, but what little kid doesn’t like cookies right?
Hey Jenni! Thanks for reporting back about them. And yes, the cookies are large. So happy you and your little one love them!
I made these again with a spice cake mix and cinnamon chips. Yummy in a completely different way. Thanks for introducing me to cake mix cookies! So easy and so many possibilities. My babysitter came when I had these strawberry ones and wanted the recipe so I sent her here. Next time I saw her mom she said her daughter had already made them three times!
Ok, I have to try that next – it sounds wonderful Gwen! So glad my recipe has been so popular with you and the babysitter
I LOVED the Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies! I’m always on the hunt for new chocolate chip cookie recipes, and this one was great! My family and friends who I shared with (and myself, of course), loved these cookies! And they were so easy to make! Thanks for sharing!
I can’t WAIT to make these cookies.
My boyfriend is currently across the country in PA while I am in Ca, and he would absolutely love these. So I want to make them this week and ship them to him….
Because they are softer cookies..do you have any tips on mailing them safely to him? I know I should expedite shipping, but should I individually wrap them, or what do you think? Will they totally be ruined if I mail them!?
xo
Thanks! (ps. just found this site and am feeling a case of ‘julie and julia’ coming on….)
I would wrap them back to back, two at a time in saran wrap, aluminum foil, or a baggie. They won’t be ruined. So excited you love my website so far and how sweet of you to send him cookies. Lucky guy!
I baked these earlier this week, but the baking process wasn’t as smooth as the chocolate chips were. Still, the result was delicious! I used the Betty Crocker batter, and followed your instructions, but it took almost 15 minutes in the oven, and even when I got them out and let them cool it wasn’t completely baked in the inside… You could taste the raw batter. I popped them back in the oven for a couple more minutes and they baked okay then.
Hi Ree! So sorry they didn’t bake properly for you. Do you have an oven thermometer? My oven runs exceptionally hot, so I always need to use it. Glad you liked the result though. Thanks for reporting back!
Can I just say that I wanna hug you for your strawberry chocolate chip cookies?
So glad you like them
Thanks Asirel!
I will be purchasing this cake mix and making these cookies for a birthday party that I am in charge of making the baking treats… I am making cookies, jello treats and making caramel popcorn twists.. I was wandering.. could I buy a white cake mix and use blue food coloring. There are boys and girls age 1-12 years and would like to have blue cookies for the boys… I love your recipes and have book marked your site and plan to use them for future functions….
Hi Marilyn, you may buy white cake mix and use food coloring to dye the dough. Those are perfect for a boy’s birthday party. So glad you enjoy my website. Thank you!
Made these tonight! So super good. I made them smaller, so I got about 30 out of the mix. I started off big, but they get puffed and larger in the oven, so I made the 2nd batch smaller. I think next time I will be more consistent and I could get 36 out of it. I used Pillsbury, which is smaller so I cut the oil to a 1/4 cup. So easy, too! Have you tried replacing the oil with melted butter? Just curious. I love the taste butter gives, not sure if it would work or not.
No I haven’t tried it – let me know if you do! Thanks Ashley, I love these so much too
Just made a batch of Strawberry Choc Chip Cookies – delicious!
These are amazing! I made them for my community group tonight and they were a huge hit. Do you have any ideas for lemon cake mix? Could I substitute the chocolate chips for sprinkles like you did with vanilla cake mix? Thanks for the recipe!
Hey Colleen! You certainly may use lemon cake mix. How about adding white chocolate chips to it? And yes, sprinkles would be wonderful too!
The ingredients of the cake mix are not the best, to say the least. I’m particularly concerned about artificial flavors. They are not healthy, and they taste funny. Lately, I can’t handle anything with artificial flavors. I can taste the difference. The vegetable oil shortening is also a concern if you want to avoid genetically modified (GMO) ingredients. Plus, it’s not the healthiest oil to consume as it’s partially hydrogenated.

Do you think these will be ok if I freeze them?
They may be frozen up to 3 months.
Sally, Thank you so much! I just found your site (thru pinterest of course) and there are SO MANY recipes I want to try! Your my new favorite site! I just made you strawberry chocolate chip cookies, and seriously who would have thought?? Amazing!! I thought these would go good for my daughters 1st birthday party we will be having soon and I think I am totally going to do these with white chocolate chips. Delish! I love the strawberry smell throughout the house right now! So easy! Can’t wait to try your other receipes! Thanks again!
I love how enthusiastic you are Ashley! You are my kind of gal. So glad you found my website. What would we do without Pinterest? So glad you loved these! Thanks for reading
I absolutely love this recipe! I made it once with chocolate chips with my friend, and then I used marshmallows and sprinkles instead with a little girl I baby-sat, and that worked perfectly fine too~. And I used the Pillsbury strawberry cake mix for the latter. It was a bit sweeter than the Duncan Hines, but it still worked awesomely. Thank you so much for this recipe! I honestly love strawberries and cookies and both together is just AUGHHH, HEAVEN.
Your marshmalow version sounds so good, Katin. I’m glad you made them and loved them!
I am just baking these cookies RIGHT NOW!! They are in the oven and am just waiting to see the end product!! Will post once I take a bite!!!
Sounds great, can’t wait to hear about them. I love these cookies!
Quick question..these are my first try in cookies! I think I made larger sized rounds and kept for 10 mins..now they look to be soft in the middle..can I keep it for some more time in the oven?? Please helpppp!!!
I wouldn’t keep them in for much longer. They are supposed to look very soft in the middle. They will continue to bake on the baking sheet after you remove it from the oven.
Hiii!!
It’s me again!! I threw off the really big ones..then made the next half batch as smaller mounds.. they came out perfectt!! My husband lovedd it! I gave a few to a friend too! Thank you soo much !!!
I’m glad to hear it!
