These Lemon Cake Mix Cookies are super, super amazing!
Seriously delicious.
It has something to do with the softness you already get from the using the cake mix to make the cookies, PLUS it’s even more amazing when you use cake mix that has pudding in the mix.
Dude.
You gotta try these. Even if you only kinda, sorta like lemon at all. If you love lemon – well – these will blow you away! {Trust me: my coworkers didn’t leave a crumb behind!}
These are also an easy dessert that you can throw together at the last minute when guests show up for a surprise visit, or you’re just suddenly craving something sweet and lemony.
Stir together the cake mix and a bit of sugar, then stir in some eggs and oil.
Easy peasy. And smells amazing!
I used teaspoonfuls to make mine.
You could make them a little bigger if you wanted, but I find this to be a perfect size.
And the icing is another easy step.
Just mix it all up in a little bowl or cup and drizzle it over the cookies.
It only takes a minute to mix the icing and another minute or two to drizzle it over the cookies with a fork.
Totally worth it.
It really makes the cookies extra special.
Doesn’t that gooey-ness look ah-mazing??
I love these things!

Easy Iced Lemon Cake Mix Cookies
Ingredients:
1 box (15 oz.) lemon cake mix
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
Icing:
1 cup confectionery sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons water
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and sugar. Stir in the eggs and vegetable oil until fully combined and smooth.
Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the cookies are set on top and just barely starting to brown around the edges.
Cool on baking pans for two minutes, then transfer cookies to wire racks and cool completely.
Using a fork, mix all ingredients for icing in a small bowl or measuring cup, starting with 1 tablespoon of water, and adding about a 1/4 tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency. It should still be a little thick, but drip easily from your fork.
Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies, making sure your working space beneath the cookies is lined with waxed or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Allow icing to set. Store covered. Makes 3 dozen.
