Let’s talk about these lemon infused crinkle cookies.
The secret to these cookies is that they are made from a cake mix. You heard me right... cookies from a box of cake mix. It’s ingenious really because it cuts down on the preparation time significantly.
I learned about these cookies from a woman who played on Matthew’s bowling league. She wrote the recipe down on a sheet of paper and since then, I’ve made infinite variations.
These lemon infused cookies are a definite winner.

Yield: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 18.25 ounce package lemon cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
- Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Stir in eggs, oil, and lemon extract until well blended. Place dough in refrigerator for approximately one hour
- Remove dough from refrigerator. Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into small balls. Drop dough into a bowl of confectioners' sugar. Roll them around until they're lightly covered. Once sugared, put them on an ungreased cookie sheet
- Bake for 9 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. The bottoms will be light brown, and the insides chewy. Cool on a cookie rack and enjoy
Notes and Tips
Be sure to cool your baking sheets between baking batches of cookies. To cool your cookie pans in a hurry, run them under cold water and then wipe dry before using. Never run a hot pan under water, allow them to cool slightly first. Alternately, you can also place them in your freezer if you have room.

Hi Courtney, thanks for stopping by! I'm not sure I understand your question? These cookies have no chocolate but there are some recipes that do if that's what you're looking for!
