Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined, about 30 seconds.
  4. Gradually add the strawberry cake mix, stirring on low speed until a thick dough forms, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. If dough is sticky, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Scoop and roll the dough into balls, then roll in powdered sugar.
  7. Place the rolled dough on the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers remain gooey.
  9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving if desired.
