What says Valentine's Day better than strawberries and chocolate?! The combination is a classic, particularly around this time of year. But I don't know about y'all, but it's been a challenge to find good strawberries in stock in my neck of the woods!

This year, I've combined the classic flavor combination in a different way - cookie form!

This is another cake mix cookie recipe, and it is SO easy, SO sweet, and SO perfect for celebrating Valentine's Day! (With this sweet pink color, it'd also be perfect for a baby shower, wedding shower, or tea party-themed event.)

Here's what you need:

  • 1 box of Strawberry cake mix (any brand)
  • ½ cup of oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • Approx ⅓ - ½ cup of white chocolate chips
  • Approx ⅓ - ½ cup of red M&Ms

Preheat your oven to 350F.

In a stand mixer (or in a bowl with a hand mixer), combine your cake mix, oil, and eggs. Mix until well blended. Then, add in your M&Ms and your white chocolate chips and blend lightly until they are dispersed fairly evenly. 

Chill the dough while the oven finishes preheating. When the dough is chilled slightly, scoop or ball the dough into roughly ping-pong sized mounds and place on a lined baking sheet. (The dough will be very sticky and may not round into perfectly formed balls - that's okay - the cookies will bake just fine if they're not perfectly rounded.)

Bake at 350F for 11 minutes.

When done, pull out, remove from the pan with a spatula, and let sit on a cooling rack. The cookies should cool for several minutes before plating or eating.

Enjoy! 

These are SUPER sweet, so I do recommend a big glass of milk or something to cut the sugary taste. But they make the perfect Valentine's dessert - so please enjoy with your family, loved one(s), or friends!
