Only six simple ingredients to these easy, flavorful cookies made with fresh lemon and a boxed lemon cake mix.

  • Total Time: 17 minutes

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 15.25-ounce lemon cake mix (I use Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 whole eggs
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix together in a large bowl with a spoon the cake mix, oil, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice just until well combined.
  3. Drop by a rounded measured teaspoonful 2 inches apart onto parchment paper-lined cookie sheets.

  5. Immediately dust with powdered sugar through a sieve.

Notes

  • Break up lumps in cake mix before adding ingredients and mix batter until most of the lumps are gone.
  • The smaller this soft cookie is the better it holds up.
