Ingredients

15.25 ounce box lemon cake mix
½ cup vegetable oil , I like to measure just under the 1/2 cup line
2 large eggs
1 lemon
¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Combine the cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl. Add in 1 Tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1 Tablespoon of lemon zest.
Stir together just until combined. If you have the time, refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes (it will make it a little easier to work with, since it is sticky).
Then use a medium scoop or spoon to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking mat. Then roll dough balls into the powdered sugar.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the cookies are set. You don’t want them to brown. Allow to cool on the pan for a couple minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Freezer instructions:

Allow cookies to cool. Then freeze on a cookie sheet for 30 minutes. Once hard, stack in a freezer container or zip top bag for up to 3 months. Remove from the freezer 2 hours before serving.
