Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces lemon cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and lemon zest. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and a dough forms.
Step 3
Place the powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball using your hands.
Step 4
Roll the dough ball in the powdered sugar until it is completely coated, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Step 5
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have a crinkled appearance. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should remain soft in the center.
Step 6
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7
Serve your delicious lemon cookies and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
