Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 (15.25-ounce) package lemon cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
For Decoration:
- ⅓ cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine lemon cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and lemon extract.
- Stir until a thick, smooth dough forms.
- Roll the Dough Balls:
- Use a teaspoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball.
- Coat each dough ball in confectioners’ sugar until fully covered.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 6-9 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are crinkled.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Serve with milk, tea, or lemonade and enjoy!
Notes
- Avoid Overbaking: Remove the cookies from the oven when the centers are slightly soft; they will firm up as they cool.
- Chill Sticky Dough: If the dough is too sticky to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Customizable: Add-ins like white chocolate chips or coconut flakes can enhance the flavor.
