EASY CAKE MIX COOKIES- PERFECT LEMON COOKIE
I frequently make these cookies for work pitch-ins & family get-togethers. They are always a big hit! I was given the basic recipe several years ago by a lady who showed up at my garage sale-and she wrote it down during our conversation about baking. I have perfected different varieties over the years. Please see my other recipes for how to make the following versions of this cookie: chocolate-chocolate chip, chocolate chip, & sugar cookies. This is a really versatile recipe base-experiment!!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Stir ingredients in medium mixing bowl until blended (best to do right before you are ready to bake them- they flatten out more if you let the batter set).
- Spoon onto 2 un-greased cookie sheets (allow some space in between, they spread...a melon baller works great for this step).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes (depends on which cake mix you use & the oven -- I start looking at them through the glass around 6.5 minutes -- they will get a dull/cracked appearance on top when done).
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan, or wait 1-2 minutes before moving to cooling racks. Cookies will be soft/chewy.
- While lemon cookies are cooling, mix together the powdered sugar & lemon juice in a small bowl, add more powdered sugar for a stiffer glaze. Lightly brush or drizzle glaze onto warm cookies on the cooling rack.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemon zest and juice give these cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before icing them: This will help the icing set properly.
Conclusion:
These lemon cake cookies are a delicious and easy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and fluffy, with a bright lemon flavor. The icing is sweet and tangy, and it perfectly complements the cookies. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
