Storage & Freezing
These strawberry crinkle cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
To freeze, place the cooled cookies in a freezer-friendly bag or container, separating each layer with parchment paper. When ready to eat, thaw at room temperature for a few hours before serving.

Tips for Making Perfect Crinkle Cookies
- Make sure to refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies keep their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Use a cookie scoop to ensure uniform-sized cookies. This helps with even baking.
- Don’t overbake the cookies! They should be slightly golden on the edges but still soft in the middle. Overbaking can make them dry and hard.
- Use parchment paper when baking to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Substitutions & Variations
- Different flavored cake mixes – lemon, chocolate, vanilla, etc.
- Mix-ins such as chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, or sprinkles.
- Food coloring – add a few drops of food coloring to give your cookies a vibrant color.
- Frosting – top your cooled cookies with frosting for an extra sweet treat!
Serving Suggestions
These crinkle cookies are delicious on their own but equally as delicious with a glass of milk or cup of tea.
Serve as part of a dessert platter with other treats like brownies and cupcakes or with a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between two cookies for an indulgent ice cream sandwich. They also make a great homemade gift for friends and family!
