Strawberry White Chocolate Cake Cookies Recipe

There's something about a pink cookie, isn't there? One of my favorite sweet treats from my childhood were these round sugar cookies with pink frosting from a tiny bakery in my hometown. In fact, I still give in to the temptation and get them occasionally when I visit there.

Today, a pink cookie seems festive and fun and just so ... Valentine-y. These pink cookies have a great combination of flavors - strawberry and white chocolate. And because they make use of a strawberry cake mix, they go together in a flash - the perfect thing to pull out when you find out at the last-minute that you were assigned to bring treats to a Valentine's Day classroom party. Strawberry White Chocolate Cake Cookies would also be a great addition to a baby shower table or an Easter brunch.

And just a note here that you don't have to stop at strawberry. The basic formula in this recipe works with any flavor cake mix - yellow cake with chocolate chips? chocolate with peanut butter? lemon with white chocolate? It's a quick cookie recipe that can be made to suit any occasion.
