Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  3. Portion the dough into balls using a small cookie scoop or spoon (about 1 to 1½ tablespoons each) and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Flatten each ball slightly to create a small well in the center.
  5. Drop about ½ teaspoon of softened cream cheese into each well.
  6. Gently press a little more dough around or on top of the cream cheese to cover it.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are set and tops look slightly dry. Do not overbake.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Swirl in fresh strawberry jam with the cream cheese for extra flavor.
  • Fold in white chocolate chips for added sweetness and texture.
  • Substitute half the oil with applesauce for a lighter version.
  • Roll cookies in coarse sugar before baking for a sparkly crust.
  • Experiment with different cake mix flavors and matching fillings.
