Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 box lemon cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil) For a tropical flavor, use coconut oil.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting Powdered sugar for dusting Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, vegetable oil (or coconut oil), eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until it forms a thick dough.
  3. Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough and roll each scoop into a ball. Optionally, roll in powdered sugar.
Baking
  1. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Once cooled, dust with more powdered sugar if desired and serve.

Notes

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They can be refrigerated for an additional week. For longer storage, freeze the dough in individual balls and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
