Strawberry White Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients
- Strawberry cake mixture
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- White chocolate chips
She first starts off by pouring strawberry cake mix powder and baking powder in a bowl and whisks the dry ingredients together. Yee then cracks two eggs into the bowl before she pours canola oil and vanilla extract in, and whisks it all together until it becomes a doughy texture.
Yee pours in white chocolate chips and mixes the candy pieces into the dough a final time before she scoops out little spheres with a stainless steel scooper. She arranges the cookie dough on a parchment paper-lined baking pan.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Yee recommends baking the cookies in an oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you have a cooling tray, the baked cookies can be placed there like Yee’s final shot shows, so the cookies can harden evenly.
