Lemon Cookies

Nobody loves an easy recipe more than I do. I rely on them daily. Whether it’s breakfast, dinner, or dessert, I like to have an arsenal of easy recipes at the ready for those days when time is in short supply. Now that I think of it, that may be every day

I am a big fan of cookies. Love them for easy desserts, snacks, lunch boxes, parties and more. What I love even more than a cookie is a lemon cookie. I love lemon everything. It makes me happy.

I almost added white chocolate chips to these soft lemon cookies. White chocolate and lemon are made for each other after all. I left them out though because I want you to try these cookies on their own first.

What Ingredients Do I Need To Make Lemon Cookies

For this easy recipe, you need just 5 ingredients.
1. Lemon cake mix – I use the cake mix with the pudding inside.
2. Cool Whip
3. Egg
4. Lemon – you’ll need the lemon zest and juice from the lemon
5. Powdered Sugar – this is what gives these lemon cookies that cool, cracked top.

This recipe calls for a lemon cake mix and you’re going to want to buy one that has pudding in the mix – makes these lemon cookies extra moist and delicious! Unlike many of my cake mix cookie recipes, I didn’t use cream cheese. Instead, I used Cool Whip. Yep. Cool Whip.

Cake mix, cool whip, and an egg. I upped the lemon factor by adding in some lemon zest and fresh lemon juice – fantastic!

The cookie dough is scooped and then rolled in powdered sugar before being baked – this is what gives them that gorgeous cracked top. So festive and fun! Just look at them!

My boys find these easy cookies entirely irresistible!
