Making these pretty chocolate dipped strawberry cookies the easy way by using a pre-made strawberry flavored cake mix.

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

It’s not too often that I use a pre-made cake mix unless of course I’m pressed for time. And it’s true, when making cookies, using a cake mix cuts down on time spent in the kitchen. Since each package already has the leavening agents (such as flour, baking powder and salt) needed to bake cookies in the oven, little effort is required to make these sweet chocolate dipped strawberry cookies.

I also love using cake mixes to explore new cookie flavors without having to buy multiple flavored extracts. I can’t remember the last time I used my pure mint extract or even my almond extract while cooking and baking.

Ingredients needed to make strawberry cake mix cookies placed in glass bowls.

Note

In this recipe I used Ghiardelli melting chocolates. These melting chocolates do not require the addition of oil to make it smooth. If you are unable to find melting chocolates (it will state this on the bag), then you can add a tablespoon of vegetable, olive or melted coconut oil to smooth out your chocolate.
