Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • 2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberry powder (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In large bowl, whisk cake mix and flour to remove lumps. Add oil, eggs, vanilla, and almond extract (if using). Mix until fully combined (dough will be thick).
  3. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar with strawberry powder (if using).
  4. Scoop 1.5 tbsp portions of dough, roll into balls, then generously coat in powdered sugar mixture.
  5. Place balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone.
  6. Let cool on baking sheets 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks. Cookies will deflate slightly and develop crinkles as they cool.

Notes

  • For natural color: Add 1 tbsp beet powder instead of artificial food coloring.
  • Storage: Keep in airtight container up to 5 days (refresh powdered sugar before serving).
  • Freezer tip: Freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 3 months (add extra powdered sugar when baking).
  • Flavor variations: Use lemon cake mix + lemon zest, or chocolate cake mix + cocoa powder.
