Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 box strawberry-flavored cake mix (approximately 432g)
  • 80 ml vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Decoration

  • 120 g chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts
  • Sprinkles, as desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C (or 160°C if using dark or nonstick pans). Line baking sheets with parchment paper; avoid greasing for best results.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until a uniform dough forms.
  3. Chill Dough: Refrigerate the dough for 15 to 30 minutes to firm it up, which will make it easier to handle and shape.
  4. Shape Cookies: Portion the dough into approximately 2.5 cm balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave about 5 cm of space between each dough ball to allow spreading.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the tops appear dry and the edges turn light golden brown.
  6. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute to set, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  7. Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips or candy melts following the package instructions until smooth.
  8. Decorate: Dip or drizzle one side of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate. Immediately add sprinkles if desired for decoration.
  9. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to fully set before serving, ensuring a beautiful and delicious finish.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • Chilling the dough helps keep the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  • For a stronger strawberry flavor, you can add a teaspoon of strawberry extract if desired.
  • Chocolate coating can be substituted with white chocolate or colored candy melts for festive variations.
  • Sprinkles add a fun decorative touch but can be omitted or replaced with chopped nuts.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
