Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 package lemon cake mix (regular size)
- 2-1/4 cups whipped topping
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- Confectioners' sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, whipped topping, and the room temperature egg. Mix until the batter is well blended; it will be very sticky at this point.
- Coat Dough: Using a tablespoon, drop portions of the sticky batter into confectioners' sugar. Roll each piece lightly in the sugar to coat evenly.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Place the coated dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow for baking expansion.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned and the tops have cracked slightly.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- The batter is very sticky; using confectioners' sugar for coating helps manage the stickiness and gives the cookies a beautiful snowy appearance.
- Make sure the egg is at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can add lemon zest to the batter for an extra burst of citrus flavor if desired.
