Strawberry Valentine Cake Mix Ingredients

You will find a printable recipe card at the bottom of this post, but here's a quick look at what you'll need to make them. Only three ingredients for a cookies and a couple more for the glaze, and you're good to go!

Cookies

• 1 box strawberry cake mix
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup vegetable oil

Strawberry Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tablespoons milk
• ¼ teaspoon strawberry extract (optional)
• Pink or Valentine sprinkles

How to Make Strawberry Valentine Cake Mix Cookies

Like I said, these are just about the easiest and fastest cookies I've made! And so simple! Here's how you're going to do it.

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the dough.
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir until a soft dough forms.
3. Scoop the cookies.
   Using a medium cookie scoop, place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake.
   Bake for 10–11 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
5. Cool.
   Allow cookies to cool completely before adding glaze.

Make the Strawberry Glaze

In a small bowl combine:

• powdered sugar
• milk or water
• strawberry extract (if using)

Stir until smooth. Adjust the milk (or water) as needed to reach a drizzle consistency.

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and immediately top with Valentine sprinkles. It's important to do this before the glaze sets.

What to Expect from these Cookies

I'm on a diet so I wasn't able to enjoy these to the fullest, but the bite I took was absolutely loaded with strawberry flavor! (I'm a strawberry cake fan, and this was just as enjoyable.) That glaze on top? It's the chef's kiss, y'all! It add just the right touch of sweetness. And doesn't it make the cookies look adorable?

These cookies bake up:

• soft and tender (like little tea cakes)
• lightly chewy in the center (bake them a little longer if you want them to firm up)
• full of sweet strawberry flavor (over-the-top delicious)

Variations

These are great, just as they are. But if you know me at all, you know I love to mix things up. Here are a few ideas that come to mind:

Chocolate-Dipped Valentine Cookies

Dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate before adding sprinkles. I did this with my Old-Fashioned Butter Cookies and loved the way they turned out!

Strawberry Cream Cookies

Add ½ cup white chocolate chips to the dough for a strawberries-and-cream flavor.

Extra Bakery Flavor

Add ¼ teaspoon almond extract to the dough for a subtle bakery-style flavor.

Cake Mix Cookie Baking Tips

• If the dough feels sticky, chill it for 10 minutes before scooping.
• Slightly underbaking keeps the cookies soft and chewy.
• Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies that bake consistently.
