Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Crumble Topping:
- 10 golden sandwich cookies (e.g., Golden Oreos), crushed
- 2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Cream Cheese Drizzle:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the cookie dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the strawberry cake mix until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop and bake:
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The centers may look slightly underbaked—this is fine.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the crumble topping:
- In a small bowl, mix the crushed golden sandwich cookies, crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.
- Make the cream cheese drizzle:
- In another bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired drizzling consistency.
- Assemble the cookies:
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the cream cheese topping over each cookie.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture generously on top of the drizzle.
- Serve:
- Let the cookies sit for a few minutes to allow the drizzle to set. Enjoy with a glass of milk or as a standalone treat!
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a stronger strawberry flavor, add a teaspoon of strawberry extract to the cookie dough.
- These cookies freeze well—store without the drizzle and crumble topping, and add them after thawing for the best texture.
