Equipment
- Cookie Sheet(s)
- Parchment Paper
- Small Cookie Scoop
- Mixing Bowl(s)
Ingredients
- 1 (15.25 oz) box Lemon Cake Mix , unprepared
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line your cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Dump the dry 1 (15.25 oz) box Lemon Cake Mix into a medium-sized bowl. Then add 6 Tbsp unsalted butter and 2 large eggs. Use a spoon or spatula to mix until combined.
- Scoop out 1 tablespoon worth of cookie dough and roll into a ball in your hands.
- Roll the cookie dough ball in ¼ cup granulated sugar to coat the outside, then roll it in ½ cup powdered sugar to completely coat it. Place on the parchment-paper lined cookie sheet(s) and repeat until all of the cookies are rolled out.
- Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until the tops of the cookies have cracked and they are set. The cookies may still look a bit gooey in the center, and that is okay.
- Remove the cookies from the oven, allowing them to rest for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool the rest of the way.
- Serve and enjoy!

Notes
Recipe copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
- Unsalted butter: You can use salted butter in a pinch, it works just as well.
- Do not overbake. The edges of the cookies won’t turn brown because of the powdered sugar. The centers should still look slightly soft when you remove them from the oven. They’ll set as they cool.
- Double coat in sugar for the best crinkle effect. Rolling in granulated sugar first helps the powdered sugar stay in place.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Let the butter cool slightly before mixing so it doesn’t affect the texture of the dough.
