Sweet Lemon Berry Cookies (Print-Friendly Version)
Chewy cookies made with strawberry and lemon cake mixes, blending bright citrus and berry flavors into every bite.
# Ingredients:
→ Base Cookies
01 -
1 lemon cake mix box
02 -
1 strawberry cake mix box
03 -
4 large eggs, split between mixes (2 per mix)
04 -
½ cup oil, split between mixes (¼ cup for each)
05 -
1 teaspoon vanilla, split evenly
→ Extras (Optional)
06 -
A sprinkle of powdered sugar for garnish
# Steps:
01 -
In two bowls, stir together each cake mix with 2 eggs, ¼ cup oil, and ½ teaspoon vanilla. Mix until the texture is smooth and all dry bits are gone.
02 -
Grab a little bit of both doughs (strawberry and lemon), gently press together, and roll into a ball. Don't over-roll or mix them completely so the colors stay swirled.
03 -
Turn on your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover baking sheets with parchment paper and place the dough balls 2 inches apart.
04 -
Bake 8-10 minutes. Edges should firm up while the centers stay soft—the cookies will finish setting as they cool.
05 -
Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, move them to a cooling rack, and sprinkle powdered sugar on top once they've cooled completely.
# Notes:
01 -
Store in a sealed container to stay fresh for 5 days.
02 -
You can chill the dough in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.
03 -
Avoid overbaking; cookies need soft centers when removed from the oven.
