Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies Recipe Substitutions and Variations

If you’re out of strawberry cake mix, try using a yellow or white cake mix and stir in a teaspoon of strawberry extract or some freeze dried strawberry powder to keep the flavor.
Don’t have eggs? You can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or a mashed banana, although it might add a slight fruity taste.
If semisweet choc chips aren’t available, you can use milk chocolate chips or even dark chocolate chunks to mix things up.

Pro Tips

1. Try chillin the cookie dough in the fridge for like 10 minutes before you bake ’em. It helps them hold their shape better when you dip them in chocolate later on.
2. Make sure you dont overbake the cookies; pull ’em out just when they start to look set. Overbaking can make them way too hard.
3. When meltin the chocolate, heat it in short 30-sec bursts and stir in between, so it doesnt burn and gets nice and smooth.
4. If you want a little extra kick, sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt on the chocolate after dipping. It adds a cool contrast to the sweetness.
