INGREDIENTS:
1 (18.25 oz) package lemon cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
juice of half a lemon (about 1 Tbsp.)
zest of half a lemon (about 1 tsp.)
1/3 cup powdered sugar for decor (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Stir in eggs, oil, lemon juice and zest until well blended. Form dough into small balls (about 1 Tbsp.), and drop into a bowl of confectioners’ sugar. Roll them around until they’re lightly covered. Once sugared, place on a lightly-greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 6 to 9 minutes in the preheated oven. The bottoms will be light brown, and the insides chewy.
**To get a rounder, fluffier cookie, let the dough refrigerate at least 30 minutes. (You can also prepare the sugared balls of dough on the cookie sheet, and just refrigerate the sheet for about ten minutes for a similar effect.)
