Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup avocado oil sub: vegetable oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons strawberry extract
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam
  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box Yellow Cake Mix
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup finely diced fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup finely diced dried strawberries

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a cookie sheet by lining with parchment or coating with cooking spray. The cookies spread out quite a bit so it may be necessary to use more than one baking sheet or bake in batches.
  • Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, vanilla, strawberry extract, and strawberry jam until fully combined.
  • Combine: Add cake mix to liquid ingredients and stir with a spatula or spoon until dough is almost fully combined. Add white chocolate chips, fresh strawberries, and dried strawberries and continue to combine until no cake mix is visible.
  • Portion: Scoop cookies with a greased cookie scoop and place 2-3 inches apart on the cookie sheet. It may be necessary to re-grease the scoop a few times.
  • Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes, rotating halfway through. Cookies will be done when they are almost fully set on the edges and slightly golden on the bottom.
  • Store: Let cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to let cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Cookies will be very soft before they are fully cooled–be careful when transferring them to wire rack.
  • Using the all-natural Thriving Home cake mix will result in cookies that are thin, crispy on the outside, and doughy in the middle. Using a store-bought mix will create thicker, cakelike cookies with a recognizable “cake mix/batter” flavor because of the additives and preservatives. Both are delicious!
  • Ideas for Add-Ins: semisweet or dark chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips, dried mango, kiwi, or pineapple instead of dried strawberries, chopped almonds or pistachios, lemon zest
  • Toppings Ideas: strawberry glaze (using jam or extract), white or dark chocolate drizzle, freeze-dried strawberry powder, cream cheese glaze or frosting
