Strawberry Sheet Cake Cookies
Strawberry Cookies are so quick and easy to bake because the batter is made using a cake mix. Only 3 ingredients and 1 bowl needed to create the prettiest pink cookies that taste great when topped with a simple sweet glaze.
Servings: 18 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop
Calories: 149kcal
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces box of strawberry cake mix (I used Pillsbury)
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup strawberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons half and half
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- Add the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a handheld mixer on medium speed to mix the ingredients just until combined. (The mixture will be very thick)
- Use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the cookie dough. Space 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are just barely golden. Allow the cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. While the cookies are cooking, make the glaze.
- Add the powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and half and half to a small mixing bowl. Whisk, or stir until the glaze is smooth.
- Once the cookies have cooled, spoon the glaze over the top of the cookies. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Notes
Servings: 18 - 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop
Storage:
- To Store: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 4 days. Use wax paper to separate layers of cookies.
- To Freeze: You can freeze the cookie dough balls for 2 months. When you are ready to bake the cookies, you can bake them straight out of the freezer. Be sure to add 5-7 minutes to the baking time.
- You can add white chocolate chips to the cookie dough.
- You can use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop for smaller cookies. Be sure to reduce your baking time to 8 minutes.
- If you prefer not to use eggs, you can substitute ½ cup of applesauce for the eggs.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Wait to glaze the strawberry cookies until they are completely cooled.
