I just finished making these for my kids' last day of school, and came up with a couple of tricks to make these easier to shape. After mixing the dough and coloring, I got my little cookie scoop, and scooped balls from each color of dough. Not only is it easier than trying to roll dough, it allows you to have more consistent balls of color, and you don't warm the cold dough with your hands. I let the dough balls chill, and kept them in the refrigerator, only taking out enough for one cookie at a time. It made the dough much easier to work with.

I didn't have a yellow cake mix on hand, so I used a French Vanilla mix, and used fresh lemon zest and juice to punch up the lemon flavor. It's a great and easy recipe, which I needed for a last minute gift.
