Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and that totally puts me in the mood for pink desserts. This valentine cake is one of my favorites but these chocolate candy hearts are pretty awesome too! I love pretty desserts already but when they’re easy to make too, it’s the perfect combination!  

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

That’s why I’m loving this recipe for strawberry cake mix cookies. These cookies are super easy to make and you only need 5 ingredients.

Start by combining strawberry cake mix, eggs and oil.

Mix ingredients until well blended.

Drop spoonfuls of cookie mix onto the parchment paper.

Remove cookies from the oven and let cool.

While cookies are cooling, mix milk and confectioners sugar for the glaze.

Use a piping bag or a spoon to drizzle glaze over the cookies.

These cookies turned out so good that they’re almost too pretty to eat…but that didn’t stop us! They taste even better with a cold glass of milk!

Ingredients

• 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs

Glaze

• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• 4-6 tbsp. milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
3. Use a mixer to combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs.
4. Using a medium sized cookie scoop, measure batter and space evenly on cookie sheet.
5. Bake 8-10 minutes, until the edges begin to brown and the top of the cookie starts to crack (10 minutes max unless you used a larger scoop).
6. Remove from oven and let cool. You'll want to be sure they're cool before moving them from the parchment paper, since cake mix cookies are more delicate when warm.
7. To prepare glaze, whisk together confectioners sugar and milk,
8. Once cookies have cooled, use piping bag or spoon to drizzle glaze over the cookies.
9. Allow glaze to set and enjoy!

Notes

When making the glaze, 4 tablespoons of milk makes thick defined stripes on the cookie while 6 tablespoons thins it out and the glaze blends in a little more. Five tablespoons were used in these photos.

If you want to try something different, you can add white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips and even M&M’s instead of adding the glaze. Buttercream frosting would be tasty too.

These cookies make an excellent teacher gift, valentine treat or even cookies for a baby shower (if it’s a girl, of course). 

I’m not sure if I love these strawberry cake mix cookies more because they’re so easy to make or because they taste SO good…it’s the perfect combination!
