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.

i made these 3 times this month!! everyone loved em. use 1 1/4 cup whipped topping instead and they wont stick, the texture will be way better, and they will have pretty little crinkles on top!

Delicious cookies. Moist and chewy, sweet and lemony. A great addition to my holiday cookie plate. Will make again!

Awesome and easy! Although a little messy. I couldn't find lemon cake mix, so I use white cake mix and a small box of lemon pudding; still came out wonderful. Everyone wants the recipe after the first bite.

Very good, but they stick to the pan. Using parchment paper will really help!

Just tried these last night and they are soooo yummy! As stated before, the batter is very stick...but it's worth the mess. You might want to make a double batch, these go very fast!

This recipe rocks, but I didn't use nearly the amount (2 cups) of confectioner's sugar it suggested. :)

These cookies tasted really good, but mine turned out "mushy". I'll try to bake them a little longer next time--or add a little flour to the mix. Still a pretty good recipe and very easy!

These cookies are so so good. I will have to make a double batch next time. Very easy to make and the lemon flavor is just right. My family was eating them as fast as I could bake them.

This recipe is super! It makes really pretty cookies that taste great. It is sort of messy, but that makes it extra fun for kids (or the kid in all of us). You can whip up a batch in under 30 minutes and have dessert ready at a moment's notice.
