Equipment
- bowl
- cookie sheet
- cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1 lemon cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a Large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil and Greek yogurt. Mix well until no dry streaks of cake mix remain. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Once the dough has chilled preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle the powdered sugar onto a plate. Using a cookie scoop portion out the dough. I used a #40 scoop which is about 1.6 tablespoons. You can use other sizes but will need to adjust the baking time.
- Add the dough directly from the scoop to the powdered sugar. Do not try to roll in a ball first because the dough is far too sticky. Use just your fingers to roll a bit in the sugar and then roll into balls. Space about 2 inches apart on your parchment lined tray and bake for 9-11 minutes.
- Cool cookies on a wire rack before storing.
