To make these cookies, you’ll need:

• 1 package of strawberry cake mix
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1 cup white chocolate chips or chocolate chips (optional)

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the dough forms and looks smooth throughout. If you’re adding chocolate chips, fold them gently into the mixture.

Next, scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart. Bake them for about 8-10 minutes, keeping a close eye to ensure they don’t overbake. The cookies should look just set and slightly soft in the center.

Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and maintains their soft texture.
