Lemon Cake Mix Cookie Substitutes

  • While these are Lemon Cookies from cake mix, you can use any cake mix you want. If you want full lemon flavor, stick with the lemon cake mix, such as Betty Crocker. However, if you don’t want too much lemon flavor in your cookies, use vanilla or chocolate cake mix, depending on what you prefer.

  • Feel free to skip the glaze. While the glaze adds more flavor to these cookies, you don’t have to add it if you’re not a fan of cookies with glaze on top. Be sure to use the glaze if you’re preparing these cookies with vanilla or chocolate cake mix so that you can still enjoy some lemon flavoring.

  • If you want lemon cookies with a vanilla glaze, don’t add lemon zest or lemon juice to the glaze. Instead, use water with powdered sugar and a bit of vanilla extract for a great taste.

Recipe Tips and Suggestions

  • Be sure to bake your cookies for 10 minutes or less. You don’t want to overcook them in the oven because then they won’t have the right consistency or texture.

  • After removing the cookies from the oven, set them off to the side to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the glaze. You can get the glaze prepared in a matter of minutes.

  • If you don’t have lemon zest, you can still prepare the glaze for these cookies without it. The lemon juice will still give these cookies that sweet, zesty taste.

How to Store and Save the Lemon Glazed Cake Mix Cookies

Wait for your cookies to cool completely before you begin storing them in a container. You can use a plastic or glass food storage container or a cookie jar, depending on what you have at home and want to use. Use parchment paper in the container you’re using to store your cookie to keep them from sticking. If your cookies start to feel a bit too hard before you’ve had time to finish them, place a slice of bread in the container. It brings the moisture back to the cookies to keep them softer.

Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • 1 box lemon cake mix I used Betty Crocker
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or lemon extract

Lemon Glaze Ingredients:

  • 2 cups powdered/confectioners sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice or water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix lemon cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until combined (option to use a hand mixer or fork).
  • Use a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop to create cookie dough balls and place them about 2” apart on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 9-10 minutes.
  • When the center is set or the edges start to brown, remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet.
  • While the cookies cool, make the lemon glaze by combining powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and vanilla.
  • Add extra lemon juice if needed, but add the third tablespoon slowly and stir while you add so it doesn’t get too thin.
  • Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and drizzle or spoon lemon glaze over each cookie (you may want to put parchment paper or foil under cookies so the glaze is easy to clean up).
  • Garnish with lemon zest (optional) and let cool completely.
  • ENJOY!
