Ingredients

  • 1 box of lemon cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well until a smooth dough is formed.
  3. Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
  4. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden around the edges.
  5. While the cookies are baking, prepare the icing. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
  6. Once the cookies are baked and cooled for a few minutes, drizzle the icing over the top of each cookie using a spoon or a piping bag.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool completely and for the icing to set before serving. Enjoy!
