2 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until well incorporated.
- 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.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the center is still soft.
- 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.
- Optionally, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh lemons for zest and juice.
