Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 15 oz lemon cake mix (dry mix only)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 6 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar (optional)

Instruction

  • With mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese and butter together until creamy.
  • Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and egg. Mix until homogenous.
  • Add in cake mix and mix on low speed until incorporated. Turn up mixer and mix until homogenous. You may need to scrape the bowl and mix again.
  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Measure out heaping tablespoons of dough and roll between your palm. Dough may still be sticky.
  • Roll each ball in powdered sugar and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes (12 was perfect for us). Remove from oven and allow to rest on baking sheet for 3 minutes, then carefully move cookies to cooling rack.
