I never thought of using cake mix in a cookie batter, very clever! Is it just plain vanilla cake mix or lemon flavoured cake mix?
Velva Knapp
Hi Eva, a lemon cake mix would be recommended. I need to revise the blog recipe.

I am such a sucker for anything lemon so you know I’ll be saving this one for a summer treat! It looks easy and fast. Yes, lemon or white cake mix?
Velva Knapp
Jeanie, I need to update the recipe to recommend using a lemon cake mix.

I didn’t know you could make cookies out of a cake mix! That’s cool!

My mother should’ve made my middle name lemon instead of Scott! If I had to choose a dessert, lemon is usually on top with almond being a close second. These look wonderful, Velva.

While citrus fruit are associated with winter for many people, I always crave lemon recipes in spring and summer 🙂 Lovely cookies!

Velva,
This is so serendipitous!
I just read a recipe in a regional cookbook for lemon cookies made from a cake mix. Mmm, they must be so light and fluffy. My family and I will devour these! I’ll let you know….thank you for sharing and thank you for continuing to bl0g! I loved it for years!
Ciao,
