These strawberry cake mix cookies are not only incredibly tasty but super fun to make. Rolling the dough in sprinkles and finishing with a chocolatey kiss makes them a delightful treat for kids and adults alike!

I'm all about finding those quick and easy recipes that satisfy my cravings without needing a ton of ingredients or effort. That's why I absolutely love cake mix cookies, and my current favorite version is a delightful strawberry twist.

These strawberry cake box cookies are incredibly simple to whip up. The base is the soft, pillowy cookie you get from a cake mix, rolled in colorful sprinkles for a touch of whimsy, and finished with a classic Hershey's Kiss nestled right in the middle. It's a winning combo of flavors and textures!

Strawberry Cookie Instructions (printable recipe below!)

Get ready to add a pop of color and sweetness to your baking routine!

Preheat: Let's get that oven nice and toasty at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prep your pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make for easier cleanup!

Mix it up: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, oil, and eggs. Stir until a lovely, thick dough forms.

Sprinkle time: Pour your sprinkles into a plate or shallow bowl. Use the cookie scoop to form dough balls, then give the rounded side a good roll in the sprinkles. Place them sprinkle-side up on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Bake: Pop those beauties into the oven for 8-9 minutes. You'll know they're done when they're slightly puffed and set around the edges.

Chocolatey goodness: Right when the cookies come out of the oven, gently press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each one. The warmth of the cookie will soften the chocolate just enough.

Cool down: Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely. This lets the chocolate set and ensures the cookies are perfect for enjoying.

Customize Your Cake Box Cookies

This recipe is super versatile! Try adding white chocolate chips to the dough for extra sweetness. For a festive twist, use themed sprinkles for holidays or events. The possibilities are endless!

• Chocolate Lovers Twist: Fold in a cup of milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips along with the sprinkles for an extra burst of chocolatey goodness. You could even use white chocolate chips for a “strawberries and cream” vibe.
• Fruity Fun: Instead of sprinkles, try rolling the cookie dough in finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries. This gives a more intense strawberry flavor and a unique texture.
• Nutty Surprise: Add ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the dough for a delightful crunch and a touch of nutty flavor.
• Drizzle Delight: After the cookies have cooled, melt some white chocolate and drizzle it over the top. You can even mix in a little pink food coloring to the white chocolate for a pretty, strawberry-themed look.

Let me know if you try these out, and I hope they bring a burst of strawberry sweetness to your day!
