Summer is quickly coming to an end, and I want to soak up every last bit of it. Some of you may be eagerly awaiting fall and the cooler temps, but I don’t want summer to end!
I can’t think of anything more summery than strawberries and lemonade. Put those two flavors together and you get a crazy good cookie sandwich!!
I shared these Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cookies with you a few weeks ago (SO yummy!).
These cookies use the same simple 3 ingredient recipe. They are so moist and soft and chewy, and they are bursting with strawberry flavor! They are delish on their own but these babies were screaming for some lemonade filling! I was happy to oblige. It’s a very simple buttercream base with lemon juice added – lemonade in frosting form? Yes, please!
Summer may be coming to an end, but these flavors are delightful year round. Stick some in your kiddo’s lunch boxes, and your man’s briefcase (and obviously hide a few in your purse). You’ll be glad you did.

I made these today for a BBQ and I made two easy revisions that upped the ante.
I chopped up fresh strawberries in to the cake mix. I had to bake the cookies a little longer, but I figured it would add texture and some flavor. Also, Instead of using packaged lemon juice, I juiced two lemons and also added lemon zest to the buttercream.
Early results approve of this cake/cookie, I’ll have more feedback this afternoon. 🙂
It was very hard to not just eat the icing on its own!
