1-Getting ready for strawberry crinkle cookies starts with a few easy steps that anyone can follow. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining your baking sheets with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. This simple prep ensures your cookies bake evenly and come out just right.

2-In a large bowl, lightly beat the egg to mix it well. Then, add the strawberry cake mix and thawed whipped topping, stirring until everything blends smoothly into a sticky dough. For the next part, pour the powdered sugar into a separate bowl to get ready for coating.

3-Using a teaspoon or a cookie scoop sprayed with non-stick spray, scoop out about 1-inch portions of dough. Roll each piece thoroughly in the powdered sugar to cover it completely, which creates that fun crinkle effect. Place the coated dough balls on your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart to allow for spreading.

4-Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, watching until the edges firm up but don’t brown, and the tops start to crack. Once done, let them cool briefly on the baking sheet to set, then move them to a wire rack for full cooling. If you like, sprinkle a bit more powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness before serving.
