    I love cake mix cookies and make them kind pretty often around here. Boxed cake mixes are something that I almost always keep on hand after a good grocery store sale and in cookie form, I have a little more control over portion sizing and control. (Or at least I'd like to think so) haha.

    These cherry chip cake cookies are packed full of that awesome flavor and specks of pinkish-red cherry bits like you'd see in the cake. With soft pillowy cookies and a little chewiness to them, they're perfect as is. Of course, adding up to a cup of chocolate chips is always nice too. 😉

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    Not all cake mix cookie recipes are created equally and if you've tried a few, you may already know what I mean. Some turn out perfectly while others are sticky.

    It took me a while to realize that it wasn't the ingredients being used or the order they were being placed in the bowl as some other food bloggers had suggested, it was the size of the cake mix box!

    Making this cherry chip mix cookie recipe got a whole lot easier once I had this realization!

    Cake mixes are not created equally. Some are 18oz where others are 15oz. This means that recipe results will vary greatly. Adding in the ¼ cup of flour to your recipe when it's 15oz will get you the same great tasting results as you'd expect from a larger box.

    These cookies don't spread out too far, so if you want them in small sizes, leave them round on the baking sheet. If you want to frost them like I did, then stick a small square of parchment paper or wax paper over the top of each mound and press down lightly with the bottom of a glass.

    💭 FAQs

    Are cherry chip cake mix cookies dairy free?

    These cookies are completely dairy free! The Betty Crocker box of cherry chip cake mix contains no dairy as a listed ingredient and nothing in this recipe requests it either. Double check ingredient labels just to be sure!

    How long are cake mix cookies good for?

    You can keep your cherry chip cake mix cookies stored for up to a week or two in an airtight container at room temperature before they start getting stale.

    Can I freeze cherry chip cookies?

    Yes, these cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container. To thaw and eat simply place a few on the counter and wait about 15 minutes for them to come to room temperature.

    How can I make these cookies even better?

    By adding a little bit of vanilla icing on top or adding in a cup of chocolate or white chocolate chips, you can change the flavor and sweetness level while making these cookies that much more irresistible.

      Mine did not turn out quite as pretty as yours but they are delicious ?. I added a splash of almond extract to the mix. I'll keep this recipe handy. Thanks for sharing!
