Easy Lemon Cake Cookies

I found this recipe collection of lemon baked goods in a magazine which are really easy and generally start with a boxed mix - which I love. Not a huge fan of the time it takes for completely homemade food. I decided to start with the first one! Easy Lemon cookies using lemon cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon juice and powdered sugar. Easy and yummy! :)

Easy Lemon Cookies

Super easy and delicious!!

I hope those pictures were helpful!

Here's the recipe:

1 Pkg Lemon Cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp lemon juice (original recipe calls for lemon extract, I didn't have any and it worked fine!)
Confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil and lemon juice together. Fill a small bowl with powdered sugar (you don't need a lot). Roll the dough into small balls and then roll in in powdered sugar until covered. Place the sugar coated dough balls on an un-greased cookie sheet (I used a non-stick cookie sheet and they still stuck a little bit).  Bake 6-7 minutes. (At 6 minutes they looked great but were a little doughy inside and I left them an extra two minutes which may have been a minute too long.
But they were pretty good! Soft and cakey with a light lemony flavor. I kind of wish they had a gooey cream filling kind of inside or like a glaze on top. Maybe next batch - I have a TON of dough left. (the original recipe says if you do teaspoon size balls, you'll have enough for 8 dozen cookies).

Thanks for reading! Enjoy!
