Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 1 (15.25 ounce) box strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking liners to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir together thoroughly until the mixture is fully incorporated and there are no dry clumps of cake mix remaining.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Form Cookie Balls: Using your hands or a medium cookie scoop, shape the dough into 2-inch balls for uniform sizing and baking.
- Optional Freezing: At this point, you can freeze the formed dough balls if desired, allowing you to bake smaller batches at any time later.
- Arrange on Baking Sheets: Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 1-2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown lightly. The centers will remain soft and will continue baking as cookies cool.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Let them cool completely before serving for the best texture.
Notes
- For softer cookies, do not overbake; remove them when edges just start to brown.
- Freezing the cookie dough balls allows for convenient baking later and preserves freshness.
- You can substitute mini chocolate chips with white chocolate chips or nuts for variation.
- Make sure cookies have enough space on the baking sheet to spread properly without sticking.
- Use parchment paper or silicone liners for easy removal and cleanup.
