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.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup confectioners sugar
Cooking Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375
  2. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper
  3. Mix all of the ingredients except the confectioners sugar in a large bowl or in the bowl of your stand mixer.
  4. Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to get a ball of dough, roll the ball in the confectioners sugar and place on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart from each other.
  5. Bake for about 8-9 minutes. The bottoms will be golden brown but the tops will remain pale.
