Strawberry Lemonade Cookies Recipe
Description
Strawberry Lemonade Cookies Recipe uses strawberry and lemon cake mixes as base ingredients combined with eggs, oil, and lemon juice to form two doughs. These doughs are chilled, then paired together and rolled into balls coated in powdered sugar before baking. The baking process results in cookies with a soft, tender crumb and lightly crisped edges. The interaction of strawberry and lemon flavors creates a complementary contrast that is enhanced by the powdered sugar coating.
The combination of two dough balls rolled together gives a marbled appearance and a mix of fruit flavors in each bite. The slight tang from the lemon juice adds brightness to the sweetness of the cake mixes. Baking at 350 °F for about 10-13 minutes ensures the cookies are cooked through but remain soft.
These cookies can be served as a sweet snack or dessert and pair well with tea or lemonade. Their colorful look and fruity flavor also make them a lively addition to cookie platters.
The notes suggest storing the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, with a piece of bread included to maintain softness. This helps keep the cookies fresh between servings.
Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 Strawberry Cake Mix 15.25 oz
- 1 lemon cake mix 15.25 oz
- 4 egg divided
- 2/3 cup vegetable oil divided
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice divided
- 1 cup powdered sugar
For the Drizzle:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon milk
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the strawberry cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon Lemon juice.
- In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the lemon cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable and 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
- Refrigerate both of the cookie doughs for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Roll the lemon cookie dough into approximately a round ball of approximately 2 teaspoons of the cookie dough. Follow the same process with the strawberry cookie dough.
- Gently roll 1 lemon cookie dough ball with 1 strawberry cookie dough ball together to make one large bowl. Place the powdered sugar for the cookie in a shallow bowl.
- Roll the ball into the powdered sugar and place on a baking sheet. Continue this process with the remaining dough space the cookies approximately 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes until the edges of the cookies are slightly golden brown. Let the cookies sit for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Then move the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
- Make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk. Add more milk to thin the glaze if needed. Drizzle the glaze with a fork or piping bag onto the cookies once they have cooled. Once the glaze has set, the cookies are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Include a piece of bread inside the container to help keep the cookies soft.
