I love making cookies, but sometimes I want a quick and easy option, exactly like these lemon cake mix cookies! With just a few simple ingredients and a box of cake mix, I whipped up soft, lemony, and DELICIOUS cookies that my entire family loves.
Lemon Cake Mix Cookies Recipe
Whenever I need a quick dessert that tastes DELICIOUS, I make cake mix cookies! They require minimal ingredients and effort to put together. Trust me, once you try these, you’ll be hooked!
To give my cookies a decorative touch, I like to roll the dough in powdered sugar; it adds sweetness and makes the cookies look AMAZING!
However, the cookie dough is a bit sticky, so I chilled it for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle and roll in the powdered sugar.
You'll Need
Lemon Cake Mix: I use a 425 g cake mix box.
Butter: I use melted unsalted butter.
Eggs: Make sure to use eggs at room temperature to mix well with the rest of the ingredients.
Lemon: I use the juice and zest of one lemon for extra lemony flavor.
Powdered sugar

How To Make Them
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350F 180C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, mix lemon cake mix, butter, eggs, lemon juice and zest until well combined (the dough will be a bit sticky.
Step 3: Chill the dough for 10-20 minutes, then use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out the dough into balls.
Step 4: Roll each ball of dough in the powdered sugar.
Step 5: Place the dough in the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart.
Step 6: Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies turn out of the oven too soft; leave them to cool down for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.
Tip: To check the doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a cookie; it should come out clean.
