Cherry Cake Mix Cookies
Cherry isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of cookies, but it really should be! These cookies are absolutely fantastic, and are
Three important notes
- Cherry Bit cake mix IS available in Canada. In the US? Not so sure.
- Cherry baking bits may NOT be available in Canada, but if anyone has seen them, let me know! I picked these up at Walmart in the States.
- Bulk Barn DOES carry red vanilla flavored baking bits that will be perfect in this recipe. As good as the cherry bits are, they do make the cookie rather strong-tasting.
Try using cherry bits!
White chocolate is even better and are what i used in this recipe. If you want a cherry tasting kick in the teeth, use the cherry bits, they were delicious!
Nothing will ever replace a good butter based cookie from scratch but you know what? I see the time and place for these, absolutely. Oh, the smell that wafted out of my oven when I checked on these beauties was to die for! Cherry bliss!
I have developed a new love for cherry cake mix cookies. Who knew? After all these years of cookies from scratch purist baking, I have fallen a little in love with these.

Cherry Cake Mix Cookies
Ingredients
- 432 gram box cherry bit cake mix from Betty Crocker
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cherry flavored baking chips or red colored baking chips OR white chocolate chips
- vanilla flavoring
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients together in a bowl completely, making sure to mix in all the dry cake mix. The batter will be thick and sticky!
- On a parchment lined sheet, scoop out the batter using a cookie scoop and place cookies 2 inches apart (fit twelve to a standard sheet).
- Cook in a 350 degree oven for approximately 10 minutes; do NOT let them brown! My cookies took 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes; the cookies will be soft and will fall apart if moved too soon.
- Place cookies onto a baking rack and finish cooling.

I tried these and it must be personal preference but they were way to sweet, almost sweeter than the cake would have been which is weird. Also, Karlynn mentioned including water in a reply to a post but there was no water in the ingredients list?

Your cookies from a cake mix look much healthier than the cake mix cookie recipe I use – it is 1 package cake mix (any flavour can be used, my favorite is butter pecan and then I sprinkle with skor bits as soon as they are out of the oven), 1 pound of butter and 1 1/2 cups of flour – absolutely delicious, but ….I will have to try your cherry chip cookies and compare.

@Gail Jones Holy Dinah! A pound of butter! I love butter but wowza! Yes, I altered mine to include water instead of all oil to give it moisture but not grease.
