Lemon Cookies

Iced Lemon Cookies are so lemony and yummy. If you love lemon like we do, you will love these easy to make lemon cookies.

Cake mix cookie recipes are fun to make because they are simple with few ingredients and there are so many different variations you can come up with.

Sometimes it is hard to wait for the dough to chill in the refrigerator. Honestly, I have sometimes baked them immediately after mixing them. I think it’s best to refrigerate them but, sometimes it’s too hard to wait.

Ingredients for Iced Lemon Cookies:

lemon cake mix

eggs

oil

lemon rind

butter

lemon juice from the lemon you took the rind from

powdered sugar

Instructions:

Combine cake mix with oil, eggs, and lemon rind until well mixed.

Refrigerate for 40-60 minutes-it can be longer. Sometimes I will put the dough together early in the day and bake them after dinner.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until cookie is set.

Cool

For the icing:

Combine butter, lemon juice, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. It is good to add the powdered sugar a bit at a time so you the icing doesn’t become dry. The 1 1/2 cups works well for me-sometimes I have had to add a little more/little less powdered sugar to other icing recipes.

Frost the cookies after they have cooled and enjoy!
