Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 432 grams lemon-flavored cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 80 milliliters vegetable oil
- 15 milliliters fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 60 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon-flavored cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until well combined and a dough forms.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, scoop out dough balls (about 1 tablespoon each).
Roll each ball of dough in the powdered sugar to fully coat it, then place it on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your lemon bite cookies with a cup of tea or as a refreshing dessert!
