Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box lemon cake mix 15.25 oz, dry powder only
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling, plus extra for dusting

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Stir the dry cake mix, oil, eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice together until a thick, pale-yellow dough forms.
  3. Cover and chill the dough for about 20 minutes, until firm enough to scoop cleanly.
  4. Scoop the dough, roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully white, and space about 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets.
  5. Bake at 375°F for about 10 minutes per batch, until the tops are set and cracked and the edges are just firm. Do not brown.
  6. Rest the cookies on the hot tray for a couple of minutes, move to a wire rack, and dust with powdered sugar once cooled.
