I got this recipe years ago from a friend and loved it. I have also used this recipe with raspberry cake mix and that is delicious too.

These were a hit! I added a lemon/powder sugar glaze and made them that much better!!

I made these at the last minute to take to our church, and 4 of the ladies that work in the kitchen ran out and asked me to give them the recipe! So easy and the lemon is so refreshing!

Great! I love recipes that start with a cake mix. I keep cake mixes on hand, putting directions on a freezer baggie with other ingredients inside for trips in our motorhome.

Tried this recipe last night. Everyone loves them !! So easy and delicious !! It made appx. 4 dozen for me as I made a little larger than 1/2 inch. It made cookies about 2 inches in diameter , the perfect size for us. I highly recommend this recipe for anyone who wants a fast delicious cookie. I think trying different flavor cake mixes would make excellent cookies as well .
