Grandma's Lemon Cake Cookies

This was my grandmother's recipe, and it's now my youngest son's favorite cookie.  If you love lemon, you have to try these cookies!

With so few ingredients, they are quick and easy to make.  I mean about-20-minutes "easy."

I only had to make one swap to make this recipe pantry-friendly, too.  And, in my opinion, it makes these cookies just that much easier to make.

GRANDMA'S LEMON CAKE COOKIES

PREP TIME:  about 15 minutes
COOK TIME:  6-7 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 1 box lemon cake mix
• 1/3 c. oil

Place the eggs, oil, and lemon juice in a large mixer bowl.  Mix in the cake mix on low speed until it is blended and sticky.  Place the dough in 1-inch balls on cookie sheets about 1 inch apart.  Bake at 375 degrees for 6-7 minutes.  Do not overbake!  Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
