- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar for coating
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is well mixed and smooth.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
Baking
- After chilling, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls.
- Roll each ball in powdered sugar, covering them completely.
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies are puffy and the edges are slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
For added flavor, consider adding lemon juice or lemon extract to the dough. Keep hands dusted with powdered sugar while rolling to prevent sticking. Avoid overbaking for a soft and chewy texture.
