Ingredients
6 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 large egg, room temperature
1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Mix cream cheese, egg, cake mix, baking powder, and oil until a smooth dough forms
2. Stir in white chocolate chips if using
3. Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes to firm up
4. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
5. Scoop dough into evenly sized portions and place them 2 inches apart
6. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes until tops are set and edges lightly golden
7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet briefly, then transfer to a rack to cool completely
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days
Freeze baked cookies or dough for up to 2 months
Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and keeps cookies soft
Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture
Avoid overbaking as cookies firm up while cooling
Dough can be frozen in scoops and baked after slight thawing
