Here’s a truth about me-if it’s not chocolate, I don’t typically waste the calories to eat it. So even though I love to bake anything and everything, I’m not very tempted by fruity desserts. But when Danetta took a bite of one of these Easy Lemon Cake Mix Cookies and started raving about how good they turned out, I didn’t totally believe her. Until I took a bite. And then I gobbled the whole thing up! So good and SO easy to make!
Guess what? Only 3 ingredients in these easy cookies! Anyone can make these and wow their friends!
We used them for our Lemon Themed Bridal Shower and they were a perfect touch. What event would you use them for?

These look delicious, can’t wait to make them!
Did you melt the butter? Or soften it and cut it in with a pastry blender?
Just soften it and it should mix in just fine.
