Recipes: Lemon Cake Mix Cookies

Made these cake mix cookies for my 10-Year Wedding Anniversary Party - super easy to make.  You can make them really small which I did to put in treat bags


 
Lemon Cake Mix Cookies

SERVINGS & SCALING
Original recipe yield: 3 dozen cookies

INGREDIENTS 1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix 2 eggs 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration

DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Stir in eggs, oil, and lemon extract until well blended. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough into a bowl of confectioners' sugar. Roll them around until they're lightly covered. Once sugared, put them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 6 to 9 minutes in the preheated oven. The bottoms will be light brown, and the insides chewy.

Options: can use lemon zest and the juice of 1/2 a lemon instead of extract for a more authentic taste...also can use other cake mix flavorings

Party Idea:  Added this note to the treat bags
