Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the cookie dough: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Shape the cookies: Form 1 tablespoon balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: For 10 minutes, or until the edges start to lightly brown. Do not overbake to ensure cookies remain soft.
Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the glaze: Blend the strawberries and lemon juice until smooth. Mix into powdered sugar to create the glaze.
Glaze the cookies: Once cooled, spoon or drizzle the glaze over the cookies. Allow to set before serving.
Notes
Make Ahead: Dough can be prepared and refrigerated overnight for enhanced flavor.
Storage: Store glazed cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze unglazed cookies for up to 3 months.
Customization: Feel free to add white chocolate chips, nuts, or citrus zest to the dough for added flavor and texture.
Glaze Variations: If desired, substitute lemon juice with water for a sweeter glaze or add more powdered sugar for a thicker consistency.
