Calories: 153kcal
Ingredients
- 4 eggs; divided
- ⅔ cup vegetable oil
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 2 cups powdered sugar; divided
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Add two eggs and a 1/3 cup vegetable oil to a bowl and mix. Add in the lemon cake mix and all of the lemon zest and stir to combine. Repeat in a separate bowl with the strawberry cake mix but this time with no lemon zest.
- Cover each bowl and chill for a 1/2 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Add a 1/2 cup of powdered sugar a small bowl. Scoop a 1/2 tbsp of lemon cookie dough and a 1/2 tbsp of strawberry cookie dough and place the two halfs together. Gently roll the two flavours into a ball trying not to blend them too much. Roll the combined cookie ball in powdered sugar and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes or until the top of the cookie has cracked. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet. Then transfer them to a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
- In a medium bowl the remaining powdered sugar and lemon juice. Stir until smooth. It should be thin enough to drizzle but not watery. If too thick add a tsp of water or lemon juice at a time to get the desired consistency. To thin, add more icing sugar to thicken.
- Once cookies are completely cooled place the cookies back on a lined sheet. They don't need to be spread out just not stacked. Then use a small spoon to drizzle the lemon sugar icing over top. Let set for one hour and serve.
Notes
Store in a tightly sealed container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
If you find the lemon glaze too bitter you can swap out the lemon juice for water or milk.
