How to make cookies of out boxed cake mix

The reason everyone loves cake mix cookies is for the ease of it! First zest and juice your lemon. I used my little juicer/spiralizer that I love.

Then add your cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and lemon juice & zest to a medium mixing bowl. Using a spoon mix until batter forms. If you want a more formed cookie, place the dough into the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before placing on to cookies sheet.

Spoon dough onto cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes.

Once they are browned on the edge, pull them out. I sprinkled them with a little sugar, too!
