Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth.
Stir in fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until evenly mixed.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for easier handling.
Portion rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
Roll each ball in powdered sugar before placing it on the baking sheet.
Bake for 9-11 minutes until set but not browned; they should look slightly puffed.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
