EASY CAKE MIX COOKIES- PERFECT LEMON COOKIE



Easy Cake Mix Cookies- Perfect Lemon Cookie image

I frequently make these cookies for work pitch-ins & family get-togethers. They are always a big hit! I was given the basic recipe several years ago by a lady who showed up at my garage sale-and she wrote it down during our conversation about baking. I have perfected different varieties over the years. Please see my other recipes for how to make the following versions of this cookie: chocolate-chocolate chip, chocolate chip, & sugar cookies. This is a really versatile recipe base-experiment!!

Categories     Dessert

Time 13m

Yield 24-36 cookies, 24-36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (18 ounce) box lemon supreme cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Stir ingredients in medium mixing bowl until blended (best to do right before you are ready to bake them- they flatten out more if you let the batter set).
  • Spoon onto 2 un-greased cookie sheets (allow some space in between, they spread...a melon baller works great for this step).
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes (depends on which cake mix you use & the oven -- I start looking at them through the glass around 6.5 minutes -- they will get a dull/cracked appearance on top when done).
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan, or wait 1-2 minutes before moving to cooling racks. Cookies will be soft/chewy.
  • While lemon cookies are cooling, mix together the powdered sugar & lemon juice in a small bowl, add more powdered sugar for a stiffer glaze. Lightly brush or drizzle glaze onto warm cookies on the cooling rack.

Lemon Krispie Cookies (from cake mix) Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by criscrossqz

Number Of Ingredients 8

Glaze:
1 box lemon cake mix (with pudding)
1 cup Rice Krispies
1/2 c. melted butter
1 large egg
1/2 about 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 about 1 tsp. lemon juice
Whisk together with small whisk ...adding sugar or juice until correct drizzle consistency

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients well. Form dough into 1" balls and put 2" apart on UNgreased cookie sheet. Bake a 350 for 9 min, or until edges are slightly golden. Cool on pan 1 min, then remove to wire racks. Drizzle glaze over cookies

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Zest your lemons before juicing them. This will give your cookies a more intense lemon flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help your cookies be tender and chewy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help your cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature. If you bake them at too high of a temperature, they will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If you bake them at too low of a temperature, they will not brown properly and will be soft and chewy.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Lemon cake cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special holiday party. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your lemon cake cookies turn out perfectly every time.
