Easy Strawberry Crinkle Cookies with Cake Mix

Are you looking for a quick and delightful treat that bursts with fruity flavors? Look no further than these Easy Strawberry Crinkle Cookies made with cake mix! These cookies are not only delicious but also incredibly simple to prepare. With just a few ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these soft and chewy cookies that are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

To make these delectable cookies, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 (15.25 oz) box of strawberry cake mix: You can choose any brand you prefer. The cake mix will serve as the base for our cookies, providing that irresistible strawberry flavor.
  • 1 (8 oz) tub of whipped topping, thawed: Ensure that your whipped topping is completely thawed in the refrigerator before using. This will help create a smooth and fluffy texture for your cookies.
  • 1 large egg: The egg will bind the ingredients together, giving the cookies structure.
  • ½ cup powdered sugar: This is for rolling the cookie dough balls, giving them that classic crinkle appearance.

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make your strawberry crinkle cookies:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. While the oven is warming up, prepare your baking sheets. Grease them lightly to prevent the cookies from sticking.

  2. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, slightly beat the egg. Add in the strawberry cake mix and the thawed whipped topping. Mix the ingredients well until you have a smooth and combined dough.

  3. Shape the cookies: Roll small portions of the dough, approximately 1-inch balls, and coat them thoroughly in powdered sugar. This will give your cookies a beautiful crinkle look once baked.

  4. Arrange on baking sheets: Place the powdered sugar-coated dough balls on the greased baking sheets, ensuring they are about 1 inch apart to allow room for spreading. You can add sprinkles on top for an extra pop of color and fun.

  5. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies should have firm edges but should not brown. Be careful not to overbake them, as they are meant to remain soft.

  6. Cool and enjoy: Once baked, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delightful strawberry crinkle cookies with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream!

Tips and Notes

  • Thaw the whipped topping: Make sure your Cool Whip is thawed in the refrigerator before using it in this recipe. This will ensure that it mixes well with the cake mix.

  • Check for doneness: The cookies are done when the edges are firm. Avoid overbaking them, as they should not turn brown.

  • Substitution option: If you prefer, you can substitute 1/3 cup of vegetable oil for the whipped topping. This will yield a slightly different texture but will still be delicious.
