Easy Cake Mix Strawberry Lemonade Cookies made with just a few ingredients! These summer cookies are bursting with strawberry lemonade flavor and are the best combination of sweet and sour.
Line two half-size baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large bowl, mix together lemon cake mix, ⅓ cup of vegetable oil, and 2 eggs. If cookie dough becomes too thick, keep folding it with a spatula.
In a separate bowl, mix together strawberry cake mix, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 2 eggs.
Using a medium (1.5 inch) cookie scoop. Fill half of the scoop with lemon cookie dough and the other half with strawberry. Repeat, dropping the cookies onto the baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
Move the cookies to the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill.
Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C (160°C fan oven).
Before baking, roll each cookie slightly in your hands to smooth out the edges.
Place them back onto the baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and finish cooling on a cooling rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Be sure to allow 2 inches of space around each cookie when baking. These cookies will spread quite a bit.
Make Crinkle Cookies: Roll the cookie dough balls in powdered sugar before baking if desired. Here's an example of how I did that with Cake Mix Crinkle Cookies.
Finish the cookies off with a lemon drizzle! I like to do fresh lemon juice and zest mixed with powdered sugar. Find the recipe in my Cake Mix Lemon Cookies.
Store lemonade cookies in an airtight container and enjoy them within 2-3 days for the best texture. The cookies can be kept longer, but they will start to get stale after 3 days.
