Ingredients
  

  • 1 lemon cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 c vegetable oil
  • 1 T lemon juice
  • 1 t lemon zest
  • Optional: 1/3 c powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Except the powdered sugar, combine all ingredients. Dough will be stiff.
  • Wrap dough tightly in cellophane or cover bowl.
  • Chill dough for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove dough from the fridge.
  • Scoop out about a heaping teaspoon of dough and spoon it on the baking pan. Lightly press the cookies to slightly flatten them.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with a heavy dusting of confectioners' sugar. This is optional, but it will make that lovely crackle top on each cookie.
  • Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the cookies are set but remove them from the oven before they start to brown.
  • Transfer them to a cooling rack.

Notes

Note: You can also roll up balls of cookie dough and roll each into a plate of the powdered sugar. Transfer each sugary ball of cookie dough to the pan and then press down gently with a spoon to flatten slightly.
