Instructions
Make the Strawberry Crunch Topping
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- To one bowl, add the instant vanilla pudding and to another bowl, add the strawberry jello. Then to each bowl, add 1/4 cup of butter and 1/4 cup of all purpose flour. Mix each one until a thick paste/dough forms.
- Combine the two doughs just a bit so they’re swirled into each other but don’t mix too much.
- Spread flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pop in the oven to bake for 8 to 11 minutes.
- Take out of the oven and allow it to cool down to room temp. For faster chilling, transfer to freezer for 30 minutes.
- Then crumble it up with your hands really well until it looks like strawberry crunch crumble. Set aside.
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
- To a mixing bowl, add cream cheese, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Use a hand mixer or the paddle attachment of a stand mixer and beat for about 2 minutes until it’s smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
Bake the Cookies and Assemble
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- To a large mixing bowl, add the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Combine with a rubber spatula until a dough forms.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out the dough using an ice cream scoop, about 1/4 cup portions. Make sure they are spaced apart as they do spread.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes. Allow to cool down completely.
- Once the cookies are at room temperature, frost the top with the cream cheese frosting and add the strawberry crumble on top.
- Pop in the fridge to chill for an hour and then enjoy!
