  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, oil, eggs and lemon zest until combined. Batter will be thick.  Be sure not to over mix.
  • Drop tablespoon full of batter on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. 
  • Bake for 8 minutes. Let cool on wire rack.

Notes

The cookies look pretty soft and puffy when they come out of oven but once they cool they flatten out and are perfect.
