Spring is here, which means I want all things lemon! First up on my baking list were these lemon cookies made with cake mix. I also can't wait to make my lemon brownies, glazed lemon cookies and lemon muddy buddies. Yum!

Honestly, these are my FAVORITE cake mix cookie to date! They are seriously so simple to make and only take 5 ingredients. They're the perfect cookie for the beginner baker.

These cookies are bursting with lemon flavor. The base is a lemon cake mix and then I added in lemon juice and zest in the batter. They are so pretty too. It's like a chocolate crinkle cookie in lemon form.

Only 5 ingredients

  • Box of lemon cake mix
  • Vegetable oil
  • Eggs
  • Lemon
  • Powdered sugar

How to make lemon cake mix cookies

MIX. Mix together the cake mix, oil and eggs. Then add 1 Tablespoon each fresh lemon juice and zest and mix until combined. At this point, I recommend refrigerating the dough for about 15 to 20 minutes so that it's easier to work with.

ROLL. Scoop the dough into balls, then roll into powdered sugar. I like to use a medium cookie scoop or spoon to ensure my cookies are evenly sized. Then place on a lined baking sheet.

BAKE. Bake at 350°F for about 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cookies are set (but not brown). Let cool on the pan for a few minutes, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Baking tips:

  • Refrigerate the dough so that it's easier to work with.
  • Use a cookie scoop and drop the dough directly into the powdered sugar, so it doesn't stick to your hands.
  • Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent brown bottoms.
  • Add extra lemon zest if you prefer extra citrus flavor.
  • When removing from the oven, the cookies should be set but not brown. They'll continue baking as they cool.

Freezing

Another great thing about these fcookies is that they freeze really well! Once out of oven, let them cool completely. Then freeze the cookies on a baking sheet for about 30 minutes, or until hard. Add to a freezer container or bag and store in freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, remove cookies from the freezer and let thaw on counter for about 2 hours prior to serving.
