How to Make Lemon Easy Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix, 1 large egg, 3 oz lemon Jell-O (1 package), and 8 oz Cool Whip. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Roll the dough into 12-14 small balls (about 1 teaspoon each).
  4. Roll each ball in powdered sugar until evenly coated.
  5. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  7. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
