Ingredients
1 box strawberry cake mix
2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons strawberry jam
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are set but not browned.
Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to create the glaze.
Warm the strawberry jam in a microwave for a few seconds until it’s slightly runny.
Drizzle each cookie with the lemon glaze, then top with a dollop of warm strawberry jam.
Let the glaze set before serving.
