Strawberry Lemonade Cake Mix Cookie Ingredients
- Cake mix – Strawberry flavored cake mix, not prepared.
- Eggs – Large eggs.
- Oil – Any mild vegetable oil will work.
- Glaze – Powdered sugar, lemon extract, milk or cream.
- Optional – Sprinkles.
Step-by-step directions to make strawberry cake mix cookies with lemon glaze
⭐ First, combine cake mix, eggs, and oil in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until all ingredients are incorporated and batter forms. Batter will be sticky.
⭐ Then, with a cookie scoop or spoon, drop batter onto a lined baking sheet. I like to roll them into balls after they’re dropped, but this isn’t required.
⭐ Next, bake until just barely done so they stay nice and soft, cool on a wire rack. While cookies are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon extract in a small bowl, slowly add heavy cream until desired thickness is reached.
⭐ Finally, dip the tops of your cookies into the lemon glaze and immediately top with sprinkles before the glaze sets.

Preparation
Can you make strawberry lemonade cookies ahead of time?
Yes! You can make and bake the cookies a few days ahead, or prep by making the dough in advance and keeping it in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to bake.
What frosting for strawberry lemonade cake mixcookies?
We’ve topped these cookies with a delicious glaze made of confectioner’s sugar, lemon extract, and milk.
What kind of cake mix for strawberry lemonade cookies recipe?
Definitely a strawberry cake mix for this one! You do not need to prepare the batter, you’ll just want the dry mix.
Storage and leftovers
How long do strawberry cookies with lemon glaze last?
These will keep 3- 4 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
Can you freeze the cookies?
Yes! To freeze the baked cookies, allow them to cool completely then store in a freezer safe air-tight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. We find it works best to freeze before frosting whenever possible.
To freeze the dough, form into balls and roll in dough, then place in a freezer safe airtight container and separate layers with parchment paper.
Tips, tricks, and frequently asked questions
✅ Make sure not to overbake. In fact, these cookies should be just barely done so they stay soft and light.
✅ Bake on a lined baking sheet (with a silicone mat or parchment paper) or use a well greased cookie sheet (I prefer silpat!) to make sure the cookies don’t stick.
✅ If you want the frosting to be pipeable, continue to beat in confectioners sugar until you reach a pipeable consistency.
