Ingredients You’ll Need
- Strawberry Cake Mix: I love using a cake mix for this recipe because it is a huge time-saver.
- Flour: all-purpose flour.
- Butter: It’s best to use unsalted butter for this recipe.
- Eggs: room temperature is best.
- Powdered Sugar: this is used to roll the cookies in before baking.
- Filling: Cream cheese and powdered sugar
How To Make Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
- Set the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream cheese mixture: add the cream cheese and powdered sugar into a medium bowl and combine at medium to low speed using a hand mixer. Set in the fridge until you are ready to stuff the cookies.
- In a large bowl, add the cake mix, flour, eggs, and butter and combine at medium-low speed. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes (or freeze for 5 minutes).
- Use a 2 tbsp cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough. Use a flat-bottom cup or your hands to shape the cookie balls into a disc about the size of your palm. Arrange the cookies onto parchment paper and begin filling with 2 teaspoons of filling in the middle. Pinch the dough around the cookie to mold into a ball and roll in your hands.
- Coat with powdered sugar before arranging onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes or until they begin to crack a bit and appear dry on the top, as well as begin to brown on the bottom.
How To Store:
If you choose not to have all of the cookies in one day, you will want to store them. You can place them into a large Ziploc bag or airtight container for the best storage method. You will squeeze all of the air out of the bag before sealing. Keep at room temperature or store in the fridge or freezer for longer shelf life.
Can I Use Other Flavors Of Cake Mix?
These Cake Mix Cookies use strawberry cake mix to make a cookie taste just like a strawberry cheesecake. However, you can use other types of cake mixes with different flavors. You can try lemon, blueberry, banana, and more.

Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 15 ounces strawberry cake mix
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup butter – melted
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Filling
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened, cold and cubed
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉, adjust rack to middle of the oven. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer, mix the cold cream cheese cubes with the powdered sugar on medium-low until combined. Optional, if you have vanilla extract you can add 1 teaspoon. Refrigerate until ready to use, it needs to be cold when you stuff the cookies.
- Mix the cake mix, flour, eggs, and butter in a large bowl on medium-low until just combined. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes.
- Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough. Flatten each dough ball into a disc about the size of the palm of your hand. Place it on the parchment paper and put 2 teaspoons of cream cheese filling in the center. Bring the dough up around the filling, and roll it briefly in your hand to seal it together. Roll dough ball in powdered sugar to generously coat.
- Arrange 2” apart on the baking sheets to allow cookies to spread. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until cookies appear crackled and dry on the top, and just starting to brown on the bottom. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, transfer to cooling rack. If not serving them all same day, store them in a large plastic bag in the refrigerator, squeezing all air out before sealing.
