Step 1: Lemon Batter

In a large mixing bowl, add the lemon cake mix, lemon jello mix, vegetable oil, and egg, then whisk everything to combine, add the other egg, squeeze the lemon juice, and add the lemon extract and keep whisking until smooth and incorporated. Set the batter aside.

Step 2: Strawberry Batter

In another large mixing bowl, add the strawberry cake mix, strawberry jello mix, chopped strawberries, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and egg, then whisk them to combine, add the other egg, and continue to whisk until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3: Assembling

Preheat your oven to 350°F, then line the baking sheet with parchment paper, and grab a large ice cream scoop. Scoop half of each of the batter, then place them on the prepared baking sheet and space them apart evenly.

Step 4: Baking

Place them in the preheated oven and bake them for about 10 to 12 minutes, then whisk together the ingredients for the glaze in a small bowl until desired consistency, and drizzle it over the cookies. Serve and enjoy!
