Are you ready for summer??
These Strawberry Lemonade Cookies remind us of the lemonade stands kids excitedly construct at busy corners during the summertime. They’re so good!
These simple cake mix swirl cookies will tempt your tastebuds with one of the best flavor combinations. Strawberry and Lemon!
Tart, yet sweet. Perfection.
Preheat Oven to 375 degrees F.
Now, place lemon cake mix into a large bowl and the strawberry cake mix into a separate large bowl. Mix 2 eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 1 tsp lemon extract into each flavored cake mix until well blended.
Important Tip: Place dough in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm slightly.
Next, take 1 rounded teaspoon of lemon dough and roll into a ball. Do the same with the strawberry dough. Combine the lemon and strawberry dough to make one large ball.
Pro Tip: Use a cookie scoop to get an even amount of cookie dough every time.
Place the dough ball in a bowl with 1 cup of powdered sugar, and roll to lightly coat in sugar. Place on a parchment-covered baking sheet or Silpat mat at least 2 inches apart. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake each batch 10 minutes until they turn slightly golden and are cooked through. Transfer to wire rack and let cool completely before serving.
If you like, you can whip up a batch of icing and drizzle over your cookies once they’re cool, or just leave them plain, either way, they’re tasty!
To make the icing (optional):
Making these cookies is a fun activity during the afternoon when the kids are “bored”. It’s tactile since you get to shape the swirl cookies with your hands and roll them in sugar!
One of the best baking secrets we can give you is to use a Silpat Baking Mat.
It’s our go-to kitchen essential for baking the best cookies ever! These Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies wouldn’t be the same without using the mat.
Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Seriously worth checking out!
