Ingredients
- 432 grams lemon-flavored cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 80 milliliters vegetable oil
- 15 milliliters fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 60 grams powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon-flavored cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until well combined and a dough forms.
Step 3
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls (about 1 tablespoon each).
Step 5
Roll each ball of dough in the powdered sugar to fully coat it, then place it on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft in the center.
Step 7
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Enjoy your lemon bite cookies with a cup of tea or as a refreshing dessert!
