Recipe Name Ingredients

Strawberry Lemonade Cake Mix Cookies ingredients.

Strawberry cake mix: Provides the strawberry flavor and pretty pink hue to half of the cookies. Plus, all of the dry ingredients are pre-measured and packaged in the box!
Lemon cake mix: Adds a tangy lemon flavor and yellow color to the other half of the cookies. Like the strawberry cake mix, it simplifies the cookie recipe with pre-measured ingredients.
Vegetable oil: Keeps the cookies soft and chewy with a moist and tender texture. Any neutral flavored oil can be used to make the cookies. Vegetable, canola or grapeseed oils are all great options.
Eggs: Ensures the cake mix right balance of moisture and structure.
Powdered sugar: Adds sweetness to the glaze to offset the tang.
Lemon juice: Adds a fresh, tangy flavor to the glaze. You can use milk or water to make the glaze if you find the lemon juice too tart.

Tips & Variations

Cool Before Covering: Ensure the cookies have cooled completely before applying the glaze. If you apply the glaze to warm cookies, it will melt into them.
Stop the Sticking: If the cookie dough is too sticky to work with directly after mixing it, refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes, which will make it easier to handle.
Leave Space For Spreading: The cookie dough balls will spread while baking, so ensure you leave at least 2 inches between each cookie to accommodate this.
Scoop The Same Size: I recommend using a cookie scoop to scoop the dough so the cookies are all the same size.
Don’t Mix The Dough: Be gentle when rolling the two dough flavors together to form the cookie. You do not want the two flavors to mix together.
Make It More Lemony: To enhance the lemon flavor in the cookies, you can mix 2-3 teaspoons of lemon zest into the dough.
Top The Treats: If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If it is too thick, add more lemon juice. If you prefer, you can also drizzle with melted white chocolate, a dusting of powdered sugar, or even spread your favorite frosting on top.

Proper Storage

To Store: Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days.
To Freeze: The cookies can be frozen for up to three months. Place a sheet of wax or parchment paper between layers to prevent the cookies from sticking. Thaw the cookies at room temperature before serving.
