Cake Mix Lemon Cookies

Update: I've made this cookie several times over the last several years and this cookie still gets ton's of attention and admiration.

They are the perfect chewy cookie with tons of lemon flavor.  The confectioners sugar that you roll them in before baking make this a very attractive cookie, it crackles when baked.  So pretty. Not to mention the sweetness that is added.

This one's perfect for outdoor parties because they can get warm and not melt all over the place.
