Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 large eggs room temperature
Icing
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 ½ tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, baking powder, vegetable oil, lemon zest, and eggs until a thick batter forms.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set. If using a large cookie scoop, the cookies may need 12-14 minutes for the edges to set. Remove to a cooling rack and cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the icing by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cream.
- When the cookies are completely cooled, scoop about 2 teaspoons of the icing onto the center of each cookie, letting it pool on top and then run down the sides a bit. Let the icing form a crust before serving.
