Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 15.25-ounce box strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- 1½ tbsp strawberry syrup
- 3 tbsp lemon juice (about one lemon)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, two large eggs, softened salted butter, strawberry syrup, fresh lemon juice, and baking soda. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and forms a dough.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough without overmixing.
- Scoop Cookies: Using a small 2-inch cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, placing each scoop about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes, or until the edges are just set and there is minimal browning, indicating the cookies are perfectly soft and not overcooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the sheet for 4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or plate to finish cooling and serve.
Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.
- For longer storage, freeze the cookies for a few months, but handle with care as they are soft and crumbly and may break easily.
- Remove the cookies from the oven just as they set; overbaking will result in a harder texture and a more browned edge which is not ideal for these soft cookies.
