They tasted really good - very light and fluffy with a wonderful bright lemon flavor. The problem is that they were very difficult to make (and messy!) and even harder to store (you can't stack them well because they will stick together) If you're up for a challenge, they are a great cookie, but don't expect them to keep well.

Wonderful taste and texture! I took the recommendation and only used half of the cool whip container and refrigerated the mix for about 30 minutes, and they were perfect for placing on the cookie sheet. My friends LOVED these cookies!

Thank you thank you for this recipe!!! I was having a hard time measuring the cool whip so i used one 8oz tub. it seemed to be the perfect amount! I also used 1 tsp of lemon extract. I was afraid they might be sour but they were perfect!! i made 57 cookies and they were ALL gone within an hour!! I used them at a cookie exchange and EVERYONE wanted to know how i made them! I can't wait to try these with chocolate cake and chocolate cool whip!! The possibilities are endless! Thanks so much for the recipe! Oh, and YES YES YES to parchment paper!! not one stuck!

The end results of these cookies are fabulous. They have a great lemon flavoring not to strong not to light its just right, I used white cake mix and lemon pudding mix. I just had a few problems that ticked me off about making them but made me feel better once I ate one and saw that it was worth while to make them. The batter is as the recipe says STICKY!!! powder sugar was flying evertwhere I probaly washed my hands and wiped the counters about 30 times. After realizing heck you cant put these on a cookie sheet with nothing else I greased the sheets down, yet the cookies still stuck horribly. Once again these cookies are worth it, just know that when you start making them, they'll probaly be one of the messiest recipes you might ever make.

We live just over 7,000 feet above sea level so I had to adjust my time by about 4 - 5 minutes. The batter is super sticky so I had a slab of butter that I would dip my fingers in before making a ball - it helped! We also used a rainbow cake mix instead of the lemon - it was SUPER sweet and my hubby and children loved them.

These cookies turned out great!!! I will definitely be making these again. I'm also going to try making them using strawberry and orange cake mixes.

i loooooved these cookies. a month ago one of my kids in my classroom brought in lemon cupcakes for her birthday, which left me craving lemon. however, i don't like cake or cupcakes so i was at a loss for a good lemon recipe. these cookies saved the day! i used a box of lemon cake mix and a box of lemon pudding (bought seperately as i could not find them together for my life). they are fantastic. perfectly lemony and not too sweet at all. and easy to make! i will definitely keep this recipe in mind for boring winter weekends.

These were pretty good and very easy, except for the disastrous mess of handling the incredibly GOOPY batter in the powdered sugar - my goodness! I thought they were very sweet though and not as sour as I would have liked.

I made these last Christmas and they were a big hit. They were relatively easy to make, but dipping them in the powdered sugar was messy! The dough is still pretty sticky when dipping them, so I ended up with my hands plastered with dough and sugar. Also, if I remember right, I had to tweak the baking time a little and keep a close eye on them, as they got tough if you left them in too long. Despite this, they were delicious, so I'll definitely be making them again!

These were very chewy which was a good thing, but just not what I was looking for. Rather bland taste, in my opinion I wanted something MORE LEMONY. If I made these again I would add either some lemon juice or lemon extract as I like the more tart with sweet taste that I thought these were missing.

It is so nice to have something different than the regular chocolate chip cookie! Easy to make and they taste great. I ended up using a white cake mix and bought lemon pudding since it is really hard to find lemon cake mix with pudding.

This was my favorite cookie that my grandma made during the holidays when I was growing up. These are so fast and delicious! My local store was out of lemon cake mix, so I had to use a white mix, then I put in a few extra drops of lemon extract and a couple drops of yellow food coloring. Looked and tasted the exaxt same. Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

These are really good, easy to make, and yes a little messy. But they are worth it. I make them during the holidays, because they are quick and easy and everyone loves them. Last year I tried different cake mixes.....like devil's food cake. They were pretty good too! But lemon is a favorite. I use a good cookie sheet, and have not had any problems with them sticking to the pan.

These were good but received three stars because I was looking for a denser lemon cookie. A hazard of having the exact taste and texture in mind is that the baker will oft be disappointed in a new recipe. These did taste quite good though. They were light, chewy and tart. My parents loved them and I loved the batter:) I would make them again for a lemon lover. In the meantime-does anyone know a good recipe for Lemon Coolers? Those crispy little powdered cookies by Sunshine( they do not make them anymore!) Thanks for a quick cookie.
