Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk cake mix and baking powder together.
3. In another bowl, whisk eggs, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
5. Chill dough for 15–30 minutes to firm up.
6. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls.
7. Coat each ball in powdered sugar.
8. Place dough balls on prepared baking sheet, leaving space between.
9. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and tops are slightly cracked.
10. Cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized cookies.
Chilling the dough prevents spreading.
Do not overbake — cookies stay soft in the center.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Freeze baked cookies for up to 2 months.
