Preheat the oven to 350℉ and prepare a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and oil until just combined and no flour clumps remain.
1 15.25 oz. box Strawberry Cake Mix, 2 large eggs, ⅓ cup vegetable oil
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips (if using), until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. Be careful not to over-mix!
1 cup white chocolate chips
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form 1-2” cookie dough balls. Optional: add granulated sugar to a small bowl and roll each dough ball in the sugar until evenly coated. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet about 2-3 inches apart.
½ cup granulated sugar
Bake for 7-9 minutes or until you see soft cracks on the top of the cookies. Be careful not to over-bake them, as they will continue to cook and set up on the baking sheet as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
