Like a number of those who reviewed I grew up with this recipe. My mom and I would make it for Camp Fire events. I find this recipe is so simple that I did my first speech in school on how to make these and then I supplied the class with cookies. I have made every variation of these my house hold favorite is cherry chip or chocolate. To those who try this and are not a fan, try it a different way.

I added fresh lemon juice and lemon peel. Taste was great but I am not a fan of the mess making them.

This fantastic and easy recipe can be made in any season and with any flavor of boxed cake mix. I double batch the ingredients, and used my mixmaster to blend it well; but, even doctored with spices, fruits, chips, or nuts, it worked, without changing this cookies wonderful soft texture at all. It is our entire families favorite! And a requested holiday gift now....

I made these last night and was surprised at how simple they were. I left them out over night and they are still chewy soft the next day. Super lemon flavor. Great recipe, I wouldn't change a thing.

Tried this recipe with the lemon cake mix. The baking time was tricky--8 minutes was not enough. Some turned out raw, others overdone. They were also a little sweet for my taste. Probably won't try this one again.

definitely a cake like cookie, but HEY, whe n you're using a cake mix I guess that's a natural. I found it too difficult to take the sticky thick dough and roll it in confectioners sugar so I dusted the cookie with 10X after baking. You don't get the crackle look but the taste is still there. You could call these cookies muffin tops and for those of you who are Seinfeld fans, this is a good basis for a black and white cookie...just mix up two batches of icing one choco and one vanilla and brush half the cookie with each...Look to the Cookie!

OMG THIS IS CAKE. I used chocolate cool whip and chocolate cake mix to come come up with chocolate-crinkle cake. The difficult dough was not worth the outcome. I didn't find anything wrong with the taste, but my brother did NOT like them. :[ Now I got to go look for a recipe everyone will enjoy..Don't know what I'll do with these..THANKS THO!! I had a lot of whipped topping that I needed to get rid of.

These are so tasty! I think that I will try them again--with different cake mixes (as recommended in some other reviews). I was really skeptical when I saw the consistency of the dough. It looks really difficult to work with, but, after reading another review, I found that using 2 spoons was very helpful. I also had to increase the baking time to 10-12 min. And the amount of powdered sugar needed is much more than 1/3 cup. I actually didn't measure mine. I just kept refilling my bowl as it ran out, but I'd guess it to be 1-2 cups. This yielded almost exactly 3 dozen cookies (plus 2).

You can use ANY packaged cake mix, and you can even use dry brownie mix. You can also get creative with what kind of sugar mix you use to roll the dough into. My friend made a mix of sugar and splenda and ground it up to mimic the texture of powdered sugar and the cookies were fabulous! For as easy as this is to make, the cookies taste better than I've had in a long time, AND they always remain moist!

I love these cookies!! My uncle used to make them when I was younger and he called them Lemon Crack Cookies because they crack when you bake them. It took me awhile to find the recipe online but I'm glad I did! Make sure you space them far apart on the cookie sheets because they tend to spread quite a bit. Also, the recipe made more than 3 dozen - I had about 4 dozen after using a large cookie scoop AND eating some of the dough! Overall, they are tasty cookies with a delicate texture, and are easy to make with few ingredients.
