Easy Lemon Cookies

Incredibly easy and delicious.

"A big hit with some picky eaters. I'm interested to try some variations with other types of cake mix, particularly strawberry. I didn't have lemon extract, so I used vanilla extract and added some juice from the lemon. Had to cook a bit longer (but the oven's been kind of iffy, so that's probably why)." - Erincpeters

    This was a very simple and quick recipe, but the lemon flavor was over-strong for my taste.

    Soft, lemony. Nice texture. Overall, a good recipe. Had my 13-yr old son do these as part of mom/son time.

    Delicious, perfect! Just made them and ate one, this recipe is so easy and incredible! I didn't have a lemon cake mix though so I substituted it with a white cake mix and just added some lemon juice and extra lemon extract. I'll definitely use this recipe again in the near future!

    Just made these. Well with a little change. They sounded so good but I didn't have lemon cake. Used chocolate with white and dark chocolate chips. The cookies are great. Can't wait to try the lemon cookies! Thanks for the recipe.

    Very good! Just made them for a family gathering & my sister whose lactose intolerant will love them. I also used fresh lemon juice instead of extract. Will definitely make these over & over!

    These are so good and so easyy to make! My husband and his buddies call them fruit loop cookies and they really do taste like a big soft fruit loop.
