What makes these Strawberry Lemonade Cake Cookies a great spring recipe?

I am literally willing Spring here.  I just cannot take it anymore!  The snow is just absolutely ridiculous so I thought that if I added some Spring colors and flavors it might just make it's appearance and make this week's snowstorm our last for the season.  

PLEASE!!!  I clearly need a good dose of Spring and nothing says Spring more to me than Strawberry Lemonade.   The fresh citrus flavor combined with the sweet and pretty color of the strawberries just make it perfect, which is why I thought the perfect dessert would be Strawberry Lemonade Cake Cookies.

You've probably noticed my recent love for all things cake cookie recently.  We had our Red Velvet Cake Cookies and then there was also our Hot Chocolate Cookies.  I just love how simple cake cookies are to make and these are no exception.  I even went with an unconventional twist by adding Lemon Royal Icing to the top.  Yes, you read that right LEMON ROYAL ICING!

Strawberry Lemonade Cake Cookies Recipe

I have whole-heartedly fallen head over heels in love with my Young Living Essential Oils.   One of my favorite ways to use them is actually in food, which I think many people find odd.  It is so easy though!  The essential oils can be used similar to extracts, but now you have a vast array of flavors right at your fingertips.  I've actually teamed up with a bunch of my favorite food blogger friends to show you how easy it really is to use your essential oils in your cooking.  This month we're focusing on lemon essential oil so if you have a thing for lemon recipes be sure to check out the collection down at the bottom.

What are these Strawberry Lemonade Cake Cookies made of?

Not only is the icing ah-mazing on these cookies, but the cookie is soft and flavorful.  Cake cookies are by far the easiest type of cookie to make.  I used Pillsbury Pink Lemonade Cake Mix  as my base for the cookie.  One thing that I accidentally learned was that using coconut oil on my favorite cookie sheets definitely gives the cookie a nice little crunch on the bottom.
