Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. This is the perfect temperature to ensure even baking, so make sure to give it enough time to heat up properly.
Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is crucial as it prevents the cookies from sticking and makes for easy cleanup later.
In a large mixing bowl, add the strawberry cake mix, melted butter, beaten eggs, and lemon juice. Use a spatula to mix everything together until you form a cohesive dough. It’s okay if the dough is a little sticky; just trust the process!
Now, gently fold in half of the chopped strawberries and one cup of white chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep those chunks of strawberries intact for a burst of flavor.
Once your dough is mixed, scoop out two tablespoons of cookie dough and roll them into balls. A cookie scoop is super helpful here to maintain consistency.
Place the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re at least two inches apart. This gives them room to spread as they bake.
For an extra pretty touch, place the remaining chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips on top of each cookie dough ball before baking.
Now, it’s time to bake! Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 10 to 11 minutes. Watch closely; you want the edges to start turning golden but the centers to remain soft.
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the hot pan for about ten minutes. This helps them set up perfectly.
After they’ve cooled a bit, transfer them to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling. Then, enjoy your delicious Easy Strawberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies!
