Strawberry Lemonade Cookies

These colorful cookies are actually two batters put together before baking. First a box of lemon cake mix is mixed with eggs, oil and lemon juice. Then the second batter is made with a box of strawberry cake mix, eggs, oil and lemon juice. Each cake mixture is portioned into balls and rolled in powdered sugar. A dough ball from each mixture is rolled together and placed on a baking sheet. After the cookies are baked and cooled then a powdered sugar glazed is drizzled on top.
