Easy Lemon Cookies

Lemon desserts are great for spring, summer, and especially Easter. The colors are always bright and the lemon flavor is refreshing. Quick lemon recipes like my Easy Lemon Pie and these Lemon Cookies are perfect when pressed for time.

I mentioned above that I use a cake mix to make these Easy Lemon Cookies. Cake mix cookies have been around for ages. I think most are attracted to the simplicity of the recipe. It’s impressive that such a tasty cookie can be made so quickly. Sure baking from scratch is great when we have time. But time is not always on our side, especially on busy summer days.

Every time I make lemon cake mix cookies, the results are fantastic. The cookie is always soft, chewy, and has a bit of crunch. The lemon flavor is delicious. I have had countless requests for the recipe because they are that good!

Tips for the best Lemon Cake Mix Cookies:

  • Do NOT overbake! All ovens will vary with temperature. You will need to monitor your cookies closely. Watch for the bottoms to be slightly brown.

  • If you prefer to have a bit of fluff to your cookies, refrigerate your dough for about 30 minutes.

  • Consider adding some white chocolate chips. They will add a bit of extra flavor and texture. White chocolate pairs well with lemon.
