Pink Lemonade is a staple in our house. We love it in the summer and it's great in cocktails. It's even better as a delicious cookie dessert.

These cookies are quick and easy to make because they use a boxed cake mix. The pink comes from strawberry cake and the yellow comes from lemon cake. These cookies are a lot like the chocolate scratch crinkle cookies I make at the holidays but with less work! Enjoy!

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs, 1/3 cup oil, 2 teaspoons strawberry bakery emulsion and half the lemon juice. Stir in strawberry cake mix. Mix until combined; set aside.
In another bowl, whisk 2 eggs, 1/3 cup oil, 2 teaspoons of lemon bakery emulsion and the rest of the lemon juice. Stir in lemon cake mix. Mix until combined.
Refrigerate both mix 30 minutes.
Prepare a plate with the powdered sugar.
Once mix has been refrigerated, using a cookie scooper, scoop half a scoop of strawberry mix and then fill the other half of the scoop by scooping from the lemon mix. Drop onto powdered sugar plate and roll into a ball in the powdered sugar. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Cookies will spread so leave enough space between cookies to allow for this.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 mins depending on the size of your cookie balls.
Let cool and enjoy!
