Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until the dough is smooth and well combined.
Scoop the cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear slightly cracked. Avoid overbaking for softer cookies.
Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate (optional): Once cooled, spread pink frosting on each cookie and decorate with heart-shaped candies or sprinkles for a festive touch.

Baking Pro Tips
Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter and better consistency.
Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels too sticky to handle.
Experiment with toppings: While pink frosting is classic for Valentine’s Day, you can also drizzle white chocolate or dust with powdered sugar for a simpler decoration.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their softness.
