# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). In a large mixing bowl, combine strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. Stir thoroughly with a spoon until a uniform dough forms.
02 -
Cover the bowl and refrigerate dough for 15 to 30 minutes to firm up.
03 -
Using clean hands, shape the chilled dough into 1-inch diameter balls.
04 -
Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
05 -
Transfer baking sheets to the preheated oven and bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the tops appear set and the bottoms just begin to turn golden.
06 -
Remove from the oven and cool cookies on baking sheets for 1 minute. Transfer to wire racks and let cool completely for about 30 minutes.
07 -
Once cooled, drizzle melted chocolate over one side of the cookies or dip cookies partially in melted chocolate, according to preference. Add sprinkles for decoration if desired.
# Helpful Suggestions:
01 -
Allow cookies to cool entirely before applying melted chocolate to prevent it from melting off.
