Description
Whip up these delightful cake mix strawberry cheesecake cookies in no time for a sweet and creamy treat!
Ingredients
1 (15.25 oz) box strawberry cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
4 oz cream cheese, softened
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix with an electric mixer or by hand until a thick dough forms.
Step 3: Add the softened cream cheese to the dough. Gently mix or fold it in just until streaks of cream cheese are visible throughout the dough. Do not overmix; you want those distinct cheesecake swirls.
Step 4: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
Step 5: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are just set. The cookies will look slightly soft in the middle.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
For best results, ensure cream cheese is truly softened but not melted. A quick chill of the dough (15-20 minutes) can help prevent spreading if your kitchen is warm.
