Ingredients

1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
2 large eggs room temperature
⅓ cup vegetable oil
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ cup powdered sugar for rolling

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and oil and stir until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Scoop 2 tablespoon portions of dough and roll into balls.
Roll each dough ball generously in powdered sugar.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 20 minutes for thicker cookies.
Re-roll the chilled dough balls in powdered sugar if needed for a thick crinkle coating.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, just until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Don’t overbake: Slightly soft centers create the best chewy texture after cooling.
Chill for thicker cookies: Prevents excessive spreading.
Roll generously in powdered sugar: Creates a prettier crinkle effect.
Fold chips in gently: Prevents overworking the dough.
Use a cookie scoop: Keeps cookie sizes even for consistent baking.
Let cookies rest on the baking sheet: They finish setting as they cool.
Don’t crowd the pan: Proper spacing helps even baking and these cookies spread.
Add extra chips on top before baking: For prettier bakery-style presentation.
Secret to soft cookies: Store in an airtight container once completely cooled, and add a slice of sandwich bread to the container. The cookies will absorb moisture from the bread and stay softer longer without becoming soggy.
