Ingredients
For the cookies
- 1 box lemon cake mix Use high-quality lemon cake mix for best flavor.
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs Use fresh eggs for best results.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to help the cookies maintain their shape.
Baking

- Place the coated dough balls on your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Choose quality ingredients for the best flavor. Don’t overbake; cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center for a soft texture. Experiment with flavors by adding lemon zest or lemon juice.
