Easiest Lemon Cookie Spring is here, which means I want all things lemon! Honestly, these are my FAVORITE cake mix cookie to date! They are seriously so simple to make and cake mix cookies take 5 ingredients.
They’re the perfect cookie for the beginner baker. The base is a lemon cake mix and then I added in lemon juice and zest in the batter. It’s like a chocolate crinkle cookie in lemon form. Mix together the cake mix, oil and eggs. Then add 1 Tablespoon each fresh lemon juice and zest and mix until combined.
At this point, I recommend refrigerating the dough for about 15 to 20 minutes so that it’s easier to work with. Scoop the dough into balls, then roll into powdered sugar. Then place on a lined baking sheet. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely. Baking tips: Refrigerate the dough so that it’s easier to work with.
