Lemon Cookies: Only 5 Ingredients!

I had a bit of a sweet tooth earlier and Aaron was burning a WoodWick lemon chiffon candle, so what did I crave? Lemon cookies! This was my first attempt at them. They're very easy to make and only require 5 ingredients, thanks to help from a boxed cake mix.

1 box lemon cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup canola oil
1 tsp lemon extract or 2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 375. Mix cake mix, eggs, oil, and lemon extract/juice until well incorporated. One at a time, drop each rounded spoonful of dough into a bowl of powdered sugar. Coat well, then shape into balls. Drop them onto an ungreased, non-stick baking sheet. Bake 6-10 minutes, until bottoms are lightly browned and cookies are still a little gooey in the middle. They'll dry up a little more as they cool. Mine made 16 cookies. Aaron has already eaten about half of them =)

Enjoy!
