Easy Lemon Cookies

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 1 (18.25 oz) package lemon cake mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• grated zest from 1 lemon
• powdered sugar for decoration

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Stir in eggs, oil, lemon juice & lemon zest until well blended. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes, and up to overnight to make the dough easier to handle. Roll teaspoonfuls of dough into balls and then drop into a small bowl of powdered sugar. Roll around until lightly or heavily covered, depending on how much you want. Once sugared, place on an ungreased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 6-9 minutes in the preheated oven. The bottoms will be light brown, and the insides chewy.
