Description

These Lemon Cake Mix Cookies are easy to make, soft, and bursting with lemon flavor, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional but boosts flavor)
  • Powdered sugar, for coating

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir until a thick dough forms. (Add lemon extract here if using.)
  3. Scoop out tablespoons of dough, roll into balls, and coat generously in powdered sugar.
  4. Place dough balls on the lined baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  5. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before transferring to a rack. Enjoy warm, soft, lemony goodness!

Notes

  • For an extra lemony flavor, consider adding lemon zest to the dough.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness.
