We’re a week into summer break and my attempt at losing a few pounds the last couple of months has come to a screeching halt. These lemon cake mix cookies are partially to blame.
Cookies.
Lemon cookies.
Do I even have to say another word?
Okay. I’ll say a few more words. MAKE THESE. Now. You won’t regret it.
If you love the flavor of lemon and you love “chewy in the middle and crunchy around the edge” cookies then you’ll wanna kiss my face for this recipe! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! The printable recipe is near the bottom of the post, for your convenience. Awww, aren’t I too kind?! Print this baby out and put back in your recipe box.

Thank you for sharing your recipe. This will be a great recipe to make for picnics when I have to bring the dessert.
Have you tried it using other flavors of cake mix?
Yes, we used a white cake mix to make sugar cookies before too. One reader had mentioned in that post that they had used a chocolate cake mix and then sprinkled powdered sugar on top. YUM! Sharon, you can find the link to the sugar cookies recipe in this post. It’s above the image of the ingredients for this recipe. Enjoy!! I’m sure they’ll be the talk of all your picnic get togethers!!! 🙂
This sounds easy to make and looks so yummy. I will have to try this with my girls. They love to bake. Thank you.
