Lemon Cake Mix Cookies
These soft and chewy lemon cake mix cookies are made with just 3 simple ingredients! Quick, delicious, and bursting with citrus flavor, they’re the perfect treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 box lemon cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the Ingredients – In a large bowl, combine lemon cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir until fully incorporated (dough will be slightly sticky).
- Shape the Cookies – Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to roll the dough into small balls.
- Space the Cookies – Arrange dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft.
- Cool & Store – Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For a stronger lemon flavor, add fresh lemon zest or a few drops of lemon extract to the dough.
- To prevent cookies from spreading too much, chill the dough for 15–20 minutes before baking.
- For a crinkle-top effect, roll dough balls in powdered sugar before baking.
