Instructions

LEMON COOKIES

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix cake mix, oil, eggs, lemon juice from the lemon, extract or oil, and crushed lemon drops on medium speed until everything is all smooth and incorporated.
• With the dough, make balls a little smaller than a golf ball, and roll them in the powdered sugar. Place each dough ball on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. You want the cookies to just start to turn golden but not brown.
• Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

LEMON FROSTING

• Whip the cream cheese until smooth, then add the powdered sugar and mix it all together.
• Add the vanilla, lemon juice from one lemon and extract or essential oil.
• Give it a taste and if you want it sweeter add more powdered sugar, if you want it a little more tart add more lemon juice.
• Wait for the cookies to completely cool then pipe on the icing.
• The easiest way to pipe it on is to put the icing in a Ziploc bag and snip a corner. Swirl it on top of each lemon cookie.
• Add yellow sprinkles or sprinkle a little of the crushed lemon drops on top!

Notes

This is a very sticky dough, but after you drop it in the powdered sugar you will be able to roll it into a ball shape.

After testing one cookie ball in the sugar and you think the dough is too runny, try adding a few more pinches of flower to stiffen up the dough.
