Strawberry Lemonade Crinkle Cookies

If you love the flavors of strawberry and lemon together, you’re going to flip over these cookies. They start with two boxes of cake mix and come together in minutes! 

Strawberry and Lemon. . .Together? 

Yes! These two flavors are meant to go together. If you’ve been following this blog for some time you’ve probably seen my Strawberry Lemonade Cake recipe. I’ve also got some delicious Strawberry Lemon Cream Scones that I’m crazy about. Oh, and my Strawberry Lemonade Bars. I’ve even got a Strawberry Lemonade Icebox cake that’s yummy. 

These cookies are the perfect blend of both of those flavors and they’re incredibly easy to make. 

If you’ve seen my Strawberry Fluffies recipes or my Lemon Crinkle Cookies recipe, you’ll know that these cake mix cookies are easy and delicious. And this recipe simply calls for merging those two recipes into one. I’ll explain more in a minute, but let’s dive right in. 

Strawberry Lemonade Crinkle Cookie Ingredients

• 1 box lemon cake mix
• 1 box strawberry cake mix
• Cool Whip (or homemade whipped cream): 2 8-ounce containers
• 1 cup powdered sugar

How to Make Strawberry Lemonade Cookies

These come together so easily! 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

Place parchment paper on cookie sheets and set aside. 

Make your doughs:

Mix strawberry cake mix with 8 ounces of the whipped cream. Make sure the dry mix is fully incorporated. 

In a separate bowl mix lemon cake mix with the other 8-ounce tub of whipped cream. Mix until fully incorporated. 

Using a tiny scoop (or a teaspoon) make one dough ball that incorporate both flavors). Gently roll them into a ball, then toss in the powdered sugar. 

Place on cookie sheet. This recipe should make 36 cookies, so you’ll need to rotate your baking sheets. I fit up to 9 cookies on each sheet. They do tend to spread so leave plenty of room. 

Place in preheated oven and bake for 12 – 13 minutes. I let mine bake the full 13 minutes because they were larger cookies and needed the extra time. 

Remove and place cookie sheet on a wire rack to cool. 

After a few minutes use a spatula to move the cookies directly to the rack to continue cooling.
Serve and enjoy! 

Store leftovers in an airtight container. They should stay good for 3 – 4 days. You can freeze the leftovers up to two months in a freezer bag if you like. 

What to Expect from These Cookies

If you love light, bright citrus merged with sweet, delicious strawberries, these are the cookies for you! The flavors work particularly well in this recipe and come together so easily, thanks to the cake mix. I’m so glad I came up with the idea to make these. (I was in the process of making strawberry crinkle cookies and lemon crinkle cookies when the idea occurred to me.)

Now that I’ve tried these, I think I’ll make them again and again! They would be a lot of fun to serve at a summer party with some fresh fruit. But don’t stop there! Let’s look at some other ways to change up this recipe to make it even more fun!
