Ingredient Quantities

• 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

How to Make this

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. In a big bowl, beat the 2 large eggs then mix in the entire box of strawberry cake mix until it forms a smooth dough.

3. Carefully fold in about 2/3 of the 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips into the dough so you get plenty of chocolate bits inside each cookie.

4. Scoop the dough onto the tray using a spoon, leaving a little space between each cookie cause they may spread a little.

5. Bake the cookies for around 8-10 minutes, or until the edges start to look lightly browned.

6. While the cookies are in the oven, put the remaining chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring often until smooth.

7. Once the cookies are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 2 minutes on the tray.

8. Dip half of each cookie into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, letting the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.

9. Place the chocolate dipped cookies on a cool surface (or a rack) and wait a few minutes for the chocolate to harden before enjoying your sweet valentine treat.

FAQ

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Strawberry cake mix: You can try making your own by mixing a box of white cake mix with some added strawberry flavor and a bit of red food coloring. It might not be exactly the same but it works in a pinch
• Eggs: If you’re short on eggs, you can use about 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce or even a mashed banana. Works pretty good for the binding
• Semisweet chocolate chips: You can swap these out for dark chocolate chips, or even try some chopped-up chocolate candy if thats what you have in the cupboard

Pro Tips

1. Try using eggs that’ve been sitting out for a little bit so they mix in smoother with the cake mix and help the dough come together better.
2. If the dough seems too sticky or wet, chill it in the fridge for about 15 minutes before scooping onto the pan to help keep the cookies their shape.
3. When melting the chocolate chips in the microwave, keep stirring at short intervals to avoid burning, cause microwaves can heat unevenly.
4. For a fun twist, try sprinkling a pinch of sea salt on the dipped cookies once you place them on the rack; it really brings out the sweetness of the chocolate.
