Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until well incorporated.
  3. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the center is still soft.
  5. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Optionally, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh lemons for zest and juice.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

These cookies can be customized with add-ins like white chocolate chips or blueberries.
