Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 1 box Lemon cake mix No preparation needed, use straight from the box.
  • 2 large Eggs Room temperature for best texture.
  • 1/3 cup Vegetable oil Can substitute with light olive oil or neutral oil if needed.
  • 1/2 cup Powdered sugar For rolling, sifted if clumpy.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until the dough is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
  • Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For a slightly firmer texture, refrigerate for up to 1 week.
