How to Make Don T Eat The Yellow Snowman Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, oil, and milk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  4. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cool, decorate your snowman cookies! Use candy melts or frosting to create faces, buttons, and scarves. Mini chocolate chips or sprinkles can also add festive touches.
