Strawberry Crinkle Cookies Ingredients

Easy Strawberry Crinkle Cookies Recipe

Yields: 13 Cookies
Preparation time: 7 minutes
Baking time: 11 minutes
Additional time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:
1 box of strawberry cake mix (15.25 ounces)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Directions:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the cake mix, butter, eggs, and lemon juice together in a medium sized mixing bowl and mix well.
Use a two tablespoon cookie scoop to create cookie dough balls the same size (you can use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to yield more cookies, but you may need to decrease the baking time by 1-2 minutes).
Roll the cookie dough balls in the powdered sugar so they are completely coated and place them about 11/2” apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 11 minutes at 350 degrees.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.

Notes:
● Option to sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top of each cookie before baking.
● Do not sprinkle powdered sugar after baking or the cookies won’t have a “crinkle” effect.
● If you don’t have lemon juice, add two more tablespoons of butter instead of lemon juice.
● I used Betty Crocker Super Moist Strawberry Cake Mix, 15.25 oz.

Do crinkle cookies from cake mix need to be refrigerated?

These cookies do no need to be refrigerated! The dough is the perfect consistency when making them from a cake mix. You can roll them and immediately put them on a baking sheet to bake without having to refrigerate. If your dough is sticky, you can refrigerate them for 30 – 1 hour, but it’s not necessary.

Are crinkle cookies supposed to be soft?

These Strawberry Crinkle Cookies SUPER soft and chewy on the inside with a crinkly outer shell! When you roll the cookie dough balls in powdered sugar before baking, the powdered sugar dries out in the oven. This creates a cracked, hard outer shell while leaving the inside soft and chewy! SO fun and delicious!

How do you know when crinkles are done?

Strawberry Crinkle Cookies are done when the outside texture has cracked and crinkled! You can also feel the outside of the cookie to check if the powdered sugar has “set”. Remember, outside texture will harden more as the cookies cool. Just be careful because the cookies will be VERY HOT coming out of the oven!
