Ingredients
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box lemon cake mix
- ½ cup Butter, softened
- ½ teaspoon lemon extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- With a hand mixer, beat butter, lemon extract, egg, and cream cheese until fluffy. Add in cake mix and beat until smooth.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Add ½ cup powdered sugar to a small bowl. Roll dough into ½-1 inch balls and dip in powdered sugar. Placed on a greased baking sheet (or line the pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat).
- Bake for 12-13 minutes. Do not let the cookies brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking pan before transferring them to a cooling rack. If desired, sift more powdered sugar over the tops. ENJOY!
Notes
- Recipe Tips.
- Store the cookie dough, covered, in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze cookie dough balls for up to 3 months. See How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or in the freezer for 3-4 months.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or in the freezer for 3-4 months.
- Do not make the cake into batter. You will only be using the lemon cake powder in the cookie recipe.
- We always use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs because they incorporate the best.
- This dough is a little sticky. We chill the dough and use a cookie scoop to help make it easier to scoop. This also prevents flat cookies!
