Ingredients

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

1 box strawberry cake mix {13.25 ounces}
2 large eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil

Strawberry Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tablespoons strawberry jam
2-3 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350°.
Combine cookie ingredients in a medium-large bowl and mix until completely incorporated. NOTE: Dough will be thick.
Using a medium sized cookie scoop {or heaping tablespoon}, scoop cookies onto a silicone {or parchment} lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Repeat until all of the dough is baked.

Glaze

Combine glaze ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. It should be thick enough to run slowly off of your whisk but still spreadable.
Take a heaping teaspoon of glaze and spread it over the top of each cooled cookie. Wait for the glaze to set up at room temperature or refrigerate for faster a set up.

Notes

Whisk the dry cake mix before adding any of the wet ingredients. This will break down any lumps in the mix and keep them from being in the cookie dough.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze unglazed cookies for up to 3 months.

Use a cookie scoop! It is so important to keep all of the easy cake mix cookies the same size so that they will bake evenly.

Don't overbake the cake mix cookies. The difference between a soft cookie and a hockey puck is only a minute or two. Remove the cookies once they are set.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. The residual heat from the baking sheet will allow the cookies to continue baking slightly. It will also set them up perfectly.

Wait to glaze the strawberry cake mix cookies until they are completely cooled. If you rush and try to glaze the cookies while they are warm it won't set up nicely.
