If you’re looking for a cookie recipe that’s as easy as can be and is overflowing with delicious flavor, you’ve come to the right place. I don’t consider myself to be much of a baker, but cookies are definitely an exception. I absolutely love making cookies from scratch. I’d even venture to say that it’s therapeutic for me to put my apron on and mix up a batch of cookie dough. However, sometimes I just don’t have time to make something that requires a lot of ingredients, time and patience. Sometimes, I just need something quick and easy. That’s where these sweet Strawberry Milkshake Cookies come in to play…and just in time for Valentine’s Day! 😉
The first time I made these cookies, I felt like I was taking a bite of pure bliss. It was almost as if I were devouring a big strawberry milkshake from my favorite diner on the square downtown! With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I knew this would be the perfect time to share the recipe with y’all. I mean, nothing says “I love you” like a big plate full of freshly baked cookies, am I right?! 😉
The secret ingredient in these cookies that makes them SO delicious (and so stinkin’ simple) is strawberry cake mix. I like to use Duncan Hines Strawberry Supreme cake mix because it has tiny little chunks of dried strawberries inside, but any ol’ brand of strawberry cake mix will do!
Here’s a free printable version of the recipe with simple, step-by-step instructions on how to make them. Make sure you make an extra batch for your Valentine, because once you try one you’re going to want to keep the whole batch for yourself! 😉

These cookies would be an awesome treat to share with your friends and family during Valentine’s Day, or any time of the year! If you’ll be making valentine’s for a child’s school class, these would be really fun to tie in a treat bag and attach a little hand made card to!

Jane saysThis recipe sounds great – but if I wanted too – can I use Greek yogurt instead of oil to cut back calories

Hi Jane!
I’ve never tried that before. I think the texture would come out different…perhaps more cake-like than cookie like, but I think it’s worth a shot! If you try it that way I’d love to hear how it turned out!Reply

My dough turned out super sticky and ruined the look of the cookie. I followed the recipe exact! Any suggestions? I did place in fridge an hour before also.

Hmm. That is so strange! I have made this recipe over and over and it’s come out just fine and easy to roll into a ball after being refrigerated. The only thing I can think of that might be different is something in the cake mix used? I’m so sorry yours didn’t turn out!

Could I substitute the oils for butter? I don’t like the taste of vegetable oil.

Hi Emilia,
I have never made them using butter, so I truthfully can not say how they would turn out. If you try it that way, I’d love to know how it worked for you!Reply

I just made these for my son’s wedding. Was looking for cookies I could bake and freeze ahead, and then would travel well. These were so easy to make and turned out wonderfully! Will look so pretty on the cookie table.
