More About This Recipe

  • For all of you who love a refreshing glass of strawberry lemonade, those classic flavors have now found their way into your oven. Introducing -- Strawberry Lemonade Cookies! These simple cake-mix swirl cookies combine the best of both strawberry and lemon worlds. Simply mix up both cookie batters, and roll together two pieces of dough to form a single dough ball, then have fun watching as they bake up in a cute “swirl” cookie design. If you’d like, whip up a batch of simple icing, and drizzle it on the cookies once they have cooled to room temp. Or you can leave them plain. Either way, they are sweet and delicious. Definitely the perfect summer cookie! Many thanks to Mother’s Mementos for the inspiration.
