Equipment (affiliate links)

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Large bowl
  • 1 medium scoop or spoon
  • 1 Cooling Rack
  • 1 cookie sheet
  • 1 freezer container or zip top bag

Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounce box lemon cake mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil I like to measure just under the 1/2 cup line
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Combine the cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl. Add in 1 Tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1 Tablespoon of lemon zest.
  • Stir together just until combined. If you have the time, refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes (it will make it a little easier to work with, since it is sticky).
  • Then use a medium scoop or spoon to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking mat. Then roll dough balls into the powdered sugar.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are set. You don't want them to brown. Allow to cool on the pan for a couple minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Freezer instructions:
Allow cookies to cool. Then freeze on a cookie sheet for 30 minutes. Once hard, stack in a freezer container or zip top bag for up to 3 months. Remove from the freezer 2 hours before serving.
