Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

For Finishing

  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until a thick dough forms, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
  3. Add White Chocolate Chips: If using, gently fold in the white chocolate chips into the dough to distribute them evenly throughout.
  4. Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each into a ball. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain slightly soft for a chewy texture.
  6. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Optional Dusting: Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • For an extra zing, add a few drops of lemon extract to amplify the lemon flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
  • Try using a lemon cake mix with chopped freeze-dried strawberries for a delicious twist on this recipe.
