I’m excited to share my delightful Strawberry Cookies with you! These cookies are soft, sweet, and perfect for any occasion. With the juicy flavor of strawberries and a mix of white and dark chocolate chips, they are sure to be a hit with anyone who takes a bite.
Growing up, my dad James would sometimes surprise us with fresh-baked treats. I remember those afternoons when he would fill the kitchen with warm, charming scents, just like these Strawberry Cookies do now.

- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- A wire rack for cooling
The Step-by-Step Process

- In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the white and dark chocolate chips, and add vanilla extract.

Lighter, Healthier Touches
If you want a lighter version of these cookies, you can replace some of the oil with unsweetened applesauce. It keeps the cookies moist while reducing the fat content. You can also use sugar-free chocolate chips for a healthier twist.
Perfect Pairings
These Strawberry Cookies pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot tea. They make lovely treats to share during tea time or as dessert after dinner. You can even serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert!
Common Stumbles to Avoid
One common mistake is overmixing the dough. Be gentle when folding in the chocolate chips to keep the cookies soft and light. Also, ensure you don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Give the cookies enough space to spread while baking.
Storing Your Creation
To keep your Strawberry Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should last about a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
A Final Warm Word
I hope you enjoy making these Strawberry Cookies as much as I do! They are an easy treat that brings joyful moments to any gathering. Share them with family and friends, and make sweet memories together!
