Valentine Strawberry Cookies

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. Mix the Dough:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
2. Stir until a soft, sticky dough forms.
3. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips.

3. Scoop the Cookies:

1. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
2. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

4. Bake:

• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly puffed.

5. Cool and Serve:

1. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Optional: Drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with festive sprinkles for extra decoration.

• Add Festive Touches: Use heart-shaped sprinkles or edible glitter for a Valentine’s Day vibe.
• Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• Freezing: Freeze the cookie dough for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding an extra minute to the bake time.
