Ingredients Overview
Main Ingredients
Lemon Cake Mix (15.25 oz): This forms the base of the cookies, providing a vibrant lemon flavor.
Large Eggs (2): Adds richness and helps bind the dough together.
Vegetable Oil (½ cup): Keeps the cookies moist and tender.
Confectioners Sugar (optional): Adds a touch of sweetness and a decorative finish if desired.
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the lemon cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil until well combined. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
Helpful Tip: Chill the Dough
Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill. This makes it easier to handle and helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
Step 3: Form the Cookies
Shape the Dough: Form the dough into 1-inch balls. If desired, roll each ball in confectioners sugar to coat. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Helpful Tip: Even Sizes
Use a cookie scoop to ensure even-sized cookies, which will bake more uniformly.
