Description

These Strawberry Lemonade Cake Mix Cookies are a vibrant and tangy treat combining the sweetness of strawberry cake with the fresh zest and juice of lemon. Easy to prepare and quick to bake, these cookies have a soft texture with a crackly powdered sugar coating, perfect for a delightful snack or dessert.

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Coating

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms with no dry pockets of mix.
  3. Form and Coat Dough Balls: Use a spoon or cookie scoop to portion the dough into approximately 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar to create an even coating which will give the cookies a crackly, sweet exterior after baking.
  4. Arrange Cookies: Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading during baking.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have formed slight cracks, indicating they are done but still soft inside.
  6. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely and avoid sogginess.
  7. Serve: Enjoy the cookies fresh as a delightful strawberry-lemon snack or dessert.

Notes

  • For extra lemon flavor, you can add an additional teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough.
  • Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should be soft in the middle when you take them out.
  • If you prefer a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before portioning.
  • The powdered sugar coating helps create the signature cracked look and adds a subtle sweetness.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
