Preheat your oven to 350°F (325°F for dark baking sheets).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and large eggs. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on ungreased cookie sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies for 9-12 minutes until the tops appear dry.

Cool the cookies on the sheets for 1 minute, then transfer to cooling racks for about 30 minutes.

Melt the chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between.

Dip or drizzle the cooled cookies in the melted chocolate, then add sprinkles while the chocolate is warm.

Place the cookies on parchment paper to set the chocolate for 10-15 minutes before serving.
