How to Make Lemon Cooler Knock Off Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup white chocolate chips.
  3. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Roll dough into 1-inch balls.
  5. Place cookie balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While cookies cool, prepare the lemon coating: In a fine-mesh sieve, sift together 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 packet (0.16 oz) lemon-flavored Kool-Aid powder. Alternatively, combine in a food processor until smooth.
  9. Once cookies are completely cool, gently sift the lemon-sugar mixture over the cookies, ensuring even coverage.
