Description

Strawberry Crunch Cookies are a delightful twist on classic cookies, made with a strawberry cake mix base, white chocolate chips, and topped with a crunchy strawberry-flavored Oreo crumb mixture drizzled with vanilla melting wafers. Perfectly sweet and fruity, these cookies offer a soft texture with a crunchy, colorful topping that makes them irresistible for any occasion.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 (13.25 ounce) box strawberry cake mix (Betty Crocker recommended)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)

Strawberry Crunch Topping

  • 14 Golden Oreo cookies
  • 1 (3 ounce) box strawberry Jell-O
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (can use salted or unsalted)

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1 cup vanilla melting wafers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
  2. Mix Dough: In a bowl, combine the entire box of strawberry cake mix, 2 large eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
  3. Add Chocolate and Sprinkles: Fold in 1 cup white chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of sprinkles (if using) into the dough to distribute evenly.
  4. Shape Cookies: Scoop approximately 4 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll each into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 3 inches apart to allow spreading during baking.
  5. Optional Decoration: Press a few extra white chocolate chips and sprinkles onto the top of each cookie dough ball to enhance appearance. Bake cookies on the middle rack for about 20 minutes or until centers look set and no longer wet. Adjust baking time as needed depending on your oven.
  6. Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet for best texture and handling.
  7. Make Strawberry Crunch Mixture: Using a food processor, pulse the 14 Golden Oreo cookies until they reach crumb consistency. Alternatively, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or heavy object.
  8. Combine Crunch Ingredients: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a bowl and mix in the contents of the strawberry Jell-O box and 2 tablespoons melted butter using a fork until thoroughly combined. Set this mixture aside.
  9. Melt Wafers: Melt 1 cup of vanilla melting wafers according to package instructions, typically in the microwave. Once melted, transfer the chocolate to a small Ziploc bag and snip off a corner to use as a piping bag.
  10. Apply Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted vanilla wafers over the top of each cooled cookie. The drizzle acts as an adhesive for the crunch topping.
  11. Add Strawberry Crunch: Sprinkle a generous amount of the strawberry crunch mixture onto the center of each cookie, pressing lightly to adhere.
  12. Final Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle a little more melted vanilla wafers over the strawberry crunch topping to finish the look and add extra flavor.
  13. Serve and Enjoy: Your Strawberry Crunch Cookies are now ready to serve. Enjoy the combination of soft, fruity cookies with a crunchy, chocolaty topping!

Notes

  • Using Betty Crocker strawberry cake mix gives the best flavor and texture, but other brands may work.
  • Sprinkles are optional and add a fun, colorful touch to the cookies.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cookies; they should still be soft in the center when removed from the oven.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, crush the Golden Oreos using a rolling pin inside a sealed plastic bag.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before adding toppings to prevent melting and sliding.
  • Vanilla melting wafers can be substituted with white chocolate chips if preferred, but adjust melting time accordingly.
