I've been looking for this recipe for some time - got it about 12 years ago from an elderly friend who has since forgotten the recipe. These are the BEST cookies - you can use different types of cake mix, too, for flavor variations. Yum!!

I have made this recipe so many times now and it is a big hit with everyone!!! The Lemon is my Fav! but my daughter loves when I use the strawberry cake mix. They are just as light and fluffy as the lemon! Great recipe!

I served these at an open house at my home. I received many compliments and shared the recipe with most of my guests. They were excellent.

I made with orange cake mix, but we loved this light, soft cookie! It was perfect to make with my 2-year-old. Thanks for a wonderfully simple recipe! Will make tons more.

These were OK...I used chocolate cake mix and the dough was very sticky and difficult to work with. Plus, I needed to bake the cookies at least 12 minutes, not 8 as stated in the recipe. Although the cookies tasted good, I'll probably try a different recipe next time.

These should be called "cool whip CAKEies" they were like little cupcakes, not cookies and turned hard by the next day. I added 1tsp of almond extract since I only had white cake mix. There are better recipes out there.

Easy to make and has a great texture. I too had to play around with the baking time a bit. I wound up baking the cookies for 14 minutes and they turned out great. I made this with chocolate cake mix as I was out of lemon. Can't wait to try it with lemon!

These are very light and soft cookies. However, 8 minutes is definately not enough time for these cookies. At 8 minutes they are still cake batter. I had to cook them for 16 minutes. Overall though, they had a good taste.

My grandma would make these all the time when I was little. She would use also use white cake mix with 3 egg whites and then add food coloring to the batter. (ie., red and green for Christmas) She would also make ahead and freeze. (freeze no longer than 2 months. let thaw in fridge for 24 hours) I'm so glad to see this recipe out here! Brings back wonderful memories of baking with grandma so long ago!

This is a very good recipe. The cookies stayed soft and did not flatten out. I really enjoyed them. I'm going to try them with chocolate cake also.

These are sooooo good! I chilled the dough, and then scooped it with one spoon and scraped it into the powdered sugar with a second spoon. They WERE good ~ gone now!

I don't know if I did something wrong, but 8 minutes was not long enough... I actually had to double the time, so if anyone tries this, you might want to do a small test batch... Other than tha, these cookies taste great, and are easy to make :o)

I'm sorry but I didn't like this at all. I'm wondering if I did something wrong although it would be hard since it's so simple. Mine were dry and tasted like cupcake tops they might have been better with frosting. They were light like the top of a cupcake also. I should have just made cupcakes.

Delicious and light cookies. The dough was very thick and sticky and not that easy to work with, but the end results are well worth it!
