I never planned on making a strawberry lemonade cookie, but sometimes the best recipes come from a little curiosity and a box of cake mix sitting in the pantry.

These cookies are easy, forgiving, and perfect for anyone who wants a fun bake without stressing over technique.

The strawberry flavor comes from strawberry cake mix, while fresh lemon zest adds just enough citrus to balance the sweetness.

The result is a soft cookie with the best texture, a light lemon taste, and that pretty pink color that makes these cookies pop on a plate.

Ingredients  

  • ½ cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 box Strawberry Cake Mix
  • 1 Egg slightly beaten
  • 8 ounces Whipped Topping
  • Zest of 1 Lemon

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350º

  • Add ½ cup Powdered Sugar to a small bowl and set aside. You will use this to coat your hands so the dough does not stick to them.

  • Add 1 box Strawberry Cake Mix, 8 ounces Whipped Topping, and the Zest of 1 Lemon to a mixing bowl.

  • Lightly whisk the egg with a fork, then add it to the bowl.

  • Use a handmixer to combine the mixture until a thick, sticky dough forms.

  • Prepare cookie sheets. Line with parchment paper if desired.

  • Dip your hands in powdered sugar, scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, and roll it into a 1-inch ball.

  • Place dough balls on the cookie sheet, keeping your hands coated in powdered sugar as you work.

  • Lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar. Bake for 8 to 11 minutes. Cookies will be soft when removed, but firm up as they cool.

  • Cool the cookies on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely

How to Store Cookies

Here’s the easy way to store leftover cookies so they stay soft and fresh.

At Room Temperature

Let cookies cool completely, then store them in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Adding a small piece of bread helps keep them soft.

In the Refrigerator

Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let them come to room temperature before serving for the best taste.

In the Freezer

Freeze baked cookies in a single layer until firm, then transfer to a freezer-safe container or bag. They keep well for up to 2 months.
