My family really loved this recipe! These cookies were awesome. Used reduced sugar lemon cake mix.

YUM!! these are so good! I love how they are soft in the middle. As others, I also had to add more milk to the frosting to thin it enough. These are very good, I'll be making them again

These are great with or without the frosting. I got about 3 dozen medium size cookies, and they were perfect after 8 minutes in the oven. I didn't have lemon extract so I used a few squirts of lemon juice, and it gave the icing a hint of lemon flavor. Delicious!

Tasted overly sweet and had a bit of a chemical-aftertaste, probably because of the box cake mix. However, it was quick and easy. I will not make these again.

I loved these! The batter will look a little sticky, but don't let that hold you back. I cooked mine on parchment paper [I didn't read to use foil] and they came out just fine. I also pressed them flat in the last minute just to make them a bit crunchy.

Very,very, good recipe. I made the cookies per instructions. However I did change the icing to a Lemon Cream Cheese icing and these were to die for. My 6 year old made these w/ little help from me and of course...she loved being the cook!

My four year old declared them "DEE-LI-SHE-US". Very good and very easy. Like some of the previous posters, mine took nine minutes to perfection.

These cookies tasted great and were so easy to make. I think it took me a little less than 30 minutes from start to finish to make 2 dozen. The only thing I would do differently next time is cook them for 9 minutes instead of the 8 because the inside of the cookie looked like it needed another minute but other than that, we all loved them. Soft and chewy and tasted great.

Easy & delicious. I used lemon icing & reduced individual cookie size. We loved them & even popped a few into the freezer for after school snack.

These were really good and were gone fast! The basic recipe (minus the icing) can be used with any flavor of cake mix. I used some lemon juice to thin the icing and drizzled it over the cookies. Yum!

i'm rating it three stars only because i tweeked the recipe. instead of the lemon cake mix i used yellow; instead of the two eggs i used a 3.5 oz pkg of lemon pudding, and instead of veg oil i used the same ammount of melted veg shortening (same thing isn't it???) i only tweeked it because i wanted something lemon-y and i didnt have a lemon cake mix or eggs or veg oil. turned out great! i couldnt get the cookies off the cookie sheet until they were TOTALLY cooled, and even then i had to be very careful. so.. i think spraying the pan with a little pam and then wiping the pan with a paper towel when i did the next batch was a little easier. oh, and i baked them for 10 mins.

This is a very easy and delicious recipe! My whole family enjoys these when I make them and so does everyone else when I take them to a church function or anything. These are my husband's new favorites. I am going to try this with pineapple cake mix and pineapple juice. I will let you all know how it comes out.

I was burnt out on 'Lemon Squares' for my Dad every year (HE LOVES LEMON), and gave this new cookie a try. It was just PERFECT! The cookies baked up so pretty even w/out the icing. I did mix up the icing and drizzled it a wee bit on top while they were warm. I just wanted the flavor of the icing more than anything, and didn't want them to look 'iced'...I don't even really care for Lemon flavor treats, but these were very very GOOD and Dad loved them too! :) Thank you for the recipe!

This recipe is so easy! I was surprised how good the cookies turned out. They were soft and fluffy. I used a jar of lemon icing instead of making my own, but they were just as delicious!

I hated this recipe. I think this is the first time I am giving a recipe anything below a 3 star. It was easy, alright, but the cookies werent strong in taste, just in smell. The icing was thick! I had to keep adding milk. And it tasted far too sweet, not like lemon at all. I will never make these cookies again.

This will not be in my recipes file. How sad, when it was such an easy recipe. I found this cookie had a bitter aftertaste which is still on my tongue as I compose this critique. I used a major name brand lemon cake mix (with no pudding added). The icing was pleasant. I would not take these cookies to a pot luck or as an example of my cooking ability, which a gourmet I am not. It's a bit too mediocre. I'm not going to try this again because there is simply nothing I can add or delete to the ingredients which would enhance the taste. I didn't say a peep when my husband tasted the cookie. He just said, "it's okay, not that great". My son didn't ask for another one, which is rare for him.

These were excellent. I also didn't put icing on them. They'd probably be good with it, but were yummy without just the same.

Yummy! I added 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds and make lemon-poppyseed cookies. They were so fast and easy. I have also pressed the dough in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan, baked them for about 10-15 minutes at 350. They make great, quick bars as well. Try other cake mixes, too!
