How to Make The BEST Glazed Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies
Tip #1- Refrigerate Your Cookie Dough
One tip I always recommend when making any type of cake mix cookies is to refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes – 1 hour before baking them.
Cake mix cookies tend to be a lot stickier in consistency than regular cookie dough, and if you don’t chill them first, they are MESSY to work with.
Tip #2 – Use A Cookie Scoop
As mentioned above, these strawberry cake mix cookies have super sticky cookie dough.
That’s why I recommend always using these awesome cookie scoops for a quick, easy, and mess-free process.
Using a cookie scoop also ensures all your strawberry cookies will turn out the same size.
Tip #3 – Use Parchment Paper
Another cookie baking must-have? Parchment paper!
I recommend using pre-cut parchment paper for easy, mess-free, and even baking. (AKA: No more burnt cookie bottoms)
Tip #4 – Don’t Over-bake Them
For perfectly soft and chewy cookies, only bake until the edges are set.
The center will look slightly soft/underbaked but will continue to firm up as the cookies cool.

What’s the best strawberry cake mix for cookies?
My personal favorite is Betty Crocker Super Moist Strawberry Cake Mix.
What strawberry jam do you recommend?
Smuckers Natural or Crofters Organic are my go-to’s, but make sure you use a seedless variety.

Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies Variations

If freezing baked strawberry cake mix cookies, I recommend leaving off the glaze and adding it once you’re ready to eat them.
Bake uncooked cookie dough balls from frozen as normal, adding an additional 1-2 minutes bake time if needed.
To thaw baked cookies, set them on your counter and let come to room temperature before glazing/eating.
You can also microwave them for 10-15 seconds at a time until warm.

How to Make Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies (Step-by-Step Photos)
Ingredients Needed
-
- Strawberry Cake Mix
- Oil
- Eggs
- Powdered Sugar
- Strawberry Jam (seedless)
- Milk
Tools Needed
- Mixing Bowls
- Rubber Spatula
- Electric Hand Mixer
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Cookie Scoop Set
- Whisk
- Cookie Sheets
- Pre-Cut Parchment Paper
- Cooling Rack
- Cookie Airtight Storage Containers
Step 1: Prepare Cookie Dough
First, prepare your cake mix cookie dough by combining your strawberry cake mix, oil, and eggs using an electric hand mixer for easy mixing. The dough will be sticky.
Cover and chill in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Step 2: Scoop and Bake
Once your cookie dough has chilled, use a small cookie scoop and place strawberry cookies spaced apart on a lined baking sheet.
I usually do 6-8 cookies on a cookie sheet at a time.
Bake in the oven 8-10 minutes until the cookie edges are set and the center still looks slightly soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool further while preparing glaze icing.
Step 3: Prepare Cookie Glaze
In a mixing bowl, combine strawberry jam and 1 tsp milk, and whisk in powdered sugar in increments until smooth. Add additional teaspoons of milk as needed until desired glaze consistency is reached.
Step 5: Glaze Cookies and Enjoy!
Place cooling rack over the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Lightly dip the cookie tops one at a time in the glaze, allowing excess to drip down before turning the cookie over and placing back on the cooling rack. This helps prevent messes.
Repeat until all strawberry cookies are glazed and allow the glaze on the cookies to fully set up before eating and storing away.
