Ingredients:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until a thick dough forms.
- Shape the cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each into a ball. Roll each dough ball in the powdered sugar until well coated.
- Bake the cookies: Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes until puffed and set at the edges.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra lemon flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract.
- Chilling the dough for 15 minutes before rolling can make it easier to handle.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
