Which brand of strawberry cake mix is best for this cookie recipe?

Any brand of cake mix will work. Store brands are great too. However, Betty Crocker's Super Moist Strawberry Cake Mix is quite good.

Should I follow the directions on the cake mix box?

No, you don't need to follow the directions on the box. Follow this recipe.

Can I add fresh strawberries to these cookies?

Sure! If you'd like to add fresh strawberries, dice them really small and add them to the batter. You could also add dehydrated strawberries to the batter.

Can I use a different flavor cake mix to make these cookies?

Any cake mix will work to make cookies, but if it is a strawberry-flavored cookie you are looking for, then make sure to buy a strawberry-flavored cake mix.

Can I use regular sugar instead of powdered sugar?

I recommend you use powdered sugar in this recipe as it adds to the cookie's soft texture and accentuates the crinkles. However, regular granulated sugar will work too. (I used regular with these cookies.)

Can these cookies be frozen?

Yes, these cookies freeze well. Wrap the baked cookies tightly with plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container. Freeze them for up to 3 months. After removing from the freezer, allow the cookies time to come to room temperature before consuming. You can also freeze the dough balls before baking. Place the dough balls on a cookie sheet and place the sheet into the freezer for an hour. You can then transfer the dough balls to a freezer bag or air-tight container. The cookie dough balls will last up to 3 months in the freezer. When ready to bake, place the frozen cookie dough balls on a baking sheet 2 inches apart and set aside. Allow the dough to come to room temperature (about 20ish minutes.) Then bake for 8 to 10 minutes at 375 F. (I have read that these cookies can be baked from frozen, however, I have not tried it, so I dont know if baking from frozen would require additional baking time.)
