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
- 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 lemon juice. Mix well until a smooth dough is formed.
- 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.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly golden around the edges.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the icing. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- 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.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely and for the icing to set before serving. Enjoy!
