Bakery Style Strawberry Cookies From Boxed Cake Mix
I don't have anything against boxed cake mixes, but I find myself rarely using them nowadays. One exception is strawberry flavored cake mix, which holds a special place in my heart for its sweet, nostalgic, and frankly kind of artificial flavor. I wanted to make strawberry flavored cookies from a mix but typically find "cake mix cookies" to be overly fluffy/cake-like (go figure). These, in my opinion, are far superior "bakery style" cookies with a crisp outer edge and chewy center that remain super chewy the next day. Plus, they turn out a beautiful pastel pink color that's perfect for Valentine's Day or just because. Does this recipe require "extra" ingredients and a little more waiting time than a typical cake mix cookie recipe? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely. This recipe will likely work with any flavor or brand of cake mix, but I haven't done much testing. I know for sure this will work with the Betty Crocker strawberry cake mix because that's what I used.
