Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the dough is smooth.
Place the powdered sugar in a small, shallow bowl.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. Then roll the dough ball in the powdered sugar until it is completely coated.
Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops have a crackled appearance.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious, zesty lemon cookies!
