Ingredients

For the Cookies
  • 15.25 ounces Duncan Hines Strawberry Supreme Cake Mix (1 box)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
For the Cream Cheese Drizzle (Optional)
  • 1 ounce cream cheese room temperature (⅛ brick)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a cookie sheet with a nonstick spray or parchment paper. The cookies tend to stick a little if the sheet isn’t sprayed.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, oil, and eggs until well combined.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  4. Scoop the cookie dough, using a medium-sized cookie scoop (yields 1 heaping tablespoon), and place onto a prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the top is no longer wet and the edges start to crisp up. If baked too long the edges will start to turn a brown color
  6. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a rack to finish cooling.
  7. Once cooled, prepare the cream cheese glaze.
  8. In a medium sized bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the powered sugar, continue mixing until creamy. Add in the milk and vanilla; continue mixing until well combined. Test the consistency with a spoon.
  9. You want the glaze to be a little on the thicker side, almost like an icing. If the glaze is too runny then add a little more powdered sugar until the desired consistency has been reached. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out.
  10. Tuck a Ziplock bag inside of a cup and wrap the edges over the lip to hold it in place. Pour the glaze into the Ziploc bag.
  11. Cut off a tiny corner on the bag and squeeze the glaze over the cookies in a zigzag pattern, or any pattern you like. Allow the cookies to sit long enough for the glaze to harden before stacking.

Notes

  • Storage: Store strawberry cake mix cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
