Ingredients
- 15.25 ounce strawberry cake mix
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips + a little more for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, blend together 8 oz softened cream cheese with ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter until well combined.
- Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and blend again until smooth.
- Mix in 1 box of strawberry cake mix until fully incorporated then fold in ¼ cup white chocolate chips with a wooden spoon or spatula.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough using a medium scoop or 1 ½ tablespoons onto a parchment lined baking sheet. I was able to do 12 cookies at a time.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set (10 minutes was perfect for me). The cookies will still be very doughy and soft, but they'll firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and place them on a rack. Before they cool, add more chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies, and gently press them into the dough.Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Once the cookies are cooled and set, serve and enjoy!
