8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) butter, melted and slightly cooled
1 large egg
4 ounces cream cheese, softened

Optional: powdered sugar or pink granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine strawberry cake mix, melted butter, and egg until smooth. Stir in softened cream cheese until fully integrated.
Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll them in optional sugar before placing on the baking sheet.
Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set; the centers should remain soft.
