Instructions
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cookie Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough comes together and is smooth.
3. Add White Chocolate Chips (Optional):
If using white chocolate chips, fold them into the dough for an extra burst of sweetness!
4. Roll the Dough:
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, and then roll each ball in powdered sugar to give them a festive, snowy look.
5. Bake:
Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers will appear soft, but they’ll set as they cool.
6. Cool and Serve:
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
