Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies

Ingredients

– 4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature

– 1 egg

– 1 teaspoon vanilla

– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

– 15.25 ounces strawberry cake mix (1 box)

– 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

– 3/4 cup M&Ms (I use a valentine mix)

Instructions

– In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese and egg until smooth. Add villa and melted butter, and mix to combine.

– Add half the cake mix and mix until just combined. Add remaining cake mix and mix until a dough forms.

– Add white chocolate chips and M&Ms and stir in by hand.

– Chill dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.

– Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

– Use a cookie scoop or 1 tablespoon measuring spoon to portion dough. Place cookie dough scoops on prepared baking sheet at least 1 inch apart.

– Bake for 9 – 11 minutes until cookies are set, but not browned.

– Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
