These are seriously the easiest cookies I’ve ever made and SO delicious — if you’re a fan of lemon that is.
Easy Lemon Drop Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 (18.25 oz) lemon cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- juice from 1 fresh lemon
- 1 package lemonade Kool-aid (unsweetened)
- *optional – lemon zest
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar (do NOT mix this in the cookie dough)
My daughter doesn’t like the lemon zest…something about the texture. I think it adds more flavor but it’s good either way. Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Mix all ingredients (except the powdered sugar) together until well blended (by hand or in an electric mixer)
- Use a teaspoon to scoop dough and drop it into a bowl of powdered sugar and roll them until coated. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes until the bottoms are light brown.

These look delish! How many does it make?
These look delicious! How many cookies does one box of mix make? Thanks!
I’m currently making these… I made some a little too big, but I would say at least 3 dozen… hopefully mine look as good as these!! 🙂
Thanks for the comment Karah!
Are you sure that the box mix is 18.25 oz. because the only size lemon cake mix (even the exact one pictured) is 16.5???
Excited to make these in the near future!!????
