Easy Lemon Crinkle Cookies

These treats are slightly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Each crinkle cookie is packed with a delightful lemony flavor. This recipe is super easy that it only has 4 ingredients. All thanks to ready-made lemon cake mix you can buy from any supermarket. But, keep in mind that you can always make it from scratch.

Ingredients

• 1 box of Lemon Cake Mix
• 2 Eggs
• ⅓ cup of Canola or Vegetable Oil
• ½ cup of Confectioner’s Sugar (powdered sugar)

Directions

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees and like a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
2. In a large mixing bowl add the cake mix, oil and eggs and mix it well until a sticky dough is formed. Let it refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
3. Add the powdered sugar in a bowl or plate.
4. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the dough and roll it between your palms to form a smooth round ball.
5. Roll it completely into the powdered sugar and place it in the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
7. Gently transfer to the cooling rack to cool completely.
8. Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

See those cookies? They are so good and soft but ultimately refreshing. This recipe makes 20 to 22 cookies. I have 7 kids, but this recipe is sufficient to feed my big family. If you are hosting a tea party, or just having friends and family over, make sure to double (or even triple) the ingredients.
