Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’ve been obsessed with cake mix lately as you may have noticed. I got away from red velvet finally but then I found this lovely strawberry cake mix and thought the pink would also be perfect for the upcoming Valentine’s Day.
I’ve never tried strawberry cake mix until now. It did taste quite like strawberries and the batter is studded with little red specks which I think are supposed to be freeze dried berries. Like all my other cake mix cookies, these are so easy to make and perfect if you in a time crunch.
They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, which is my favorite texture for cookies. You don’t need a mixer, just a large wooden spoon and a large mixing bowl.
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
1 box strawberry cake mix
halfway in between 1/3 and 1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 cup chocolate chipsDirections:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line two cookie sheets with silpat mats or parchment paper. Mix cake mix, oil and egg in a large bowl until batter is smooth and no dry cake mix powder remains. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. Take about 2 tbsp dough and form into a ball. The ball should be about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough about 2 inches apart. Bake about 12 minutes until cookies are set, and edges start to turn a light brown. Let cookies cool on baking sheets and finish setting before removing.

I love these!
I make them almost the exact same way except I also add in 1/4 tsp of vanilla and 1tsp of baking powder.
I’ve made red velvet and white chips and just recently made chocolate with mint baking chips (those are my favorite so far!!!!!)
These did turn out beautiful! I would suggest everyone trying these at least once

Interesting about the addition of baking powder. I would think it might make these cookies overrise, but I’ll try it out sometime!

those cookies are so lovely!!!!! i used that flavor cakemix before but for cupcakes. that’s a good idea to make them cookies (like the red velvet version). one of my childhood favorites was the cherry chip cake mix (not sure if that’s still out there).
love your food styling!

Oh I saw the cherry chip one! I thought about using that for Vday also. Aw thanks, I’m trying to learn to do more styles so it’s not always the same thing over and over again.

The cherry chip flavor is pretty artificial tasting, but I like it!!!!

i forgot to mention that I have this cheapy brand (from Wal-Mart) of cherry chips. i bought them in desperation last xmas because they ran out of the tri-color holiday chips but ended up not using them in red velvet because i thought red velvet and cherry chips were a wierd combination. i ended up making chocolate chip cookies with chocolate cake mix and used white choc chips and those cherry ones. much better!

Oh I don’t think I’ve seen the Walmart brand. You know it’s funny you say that about red velvet and cherry. At work we get a red velvet cake every year and for some reason half of the people at my work have no idea what red velvet is. And this one person at my work always describes it as a cherry tasting cake, which makes me cringe every time I hear the description. Sigh. haha

i am excited to try this. I never thought of making cookies from cake mix but it is a smart idea.
Kirbie replied: — February 13th, 2013 @ 3:41 pm
Definitely give it a try! There’s so many different flavors you can make. I always have cake mix in the house to make these.

@ Kirbie ( i dont see a reply to ‘caninecoligne’ so apologies that this is out of order) R V is the cake in the South. I think elsewhere it isnt widely eaten so that is why R V is foolishly called/likened to cherry cake.

I know it’s a traditional cake for the South but I feel like it’s become so popular now. I always see red velvet cupcakes at bakeries so I’m surprised my officemates had no idea what red velvet was.
