Fabulous. I made these for our Christmas cookie exchange and I had people I didn't even know coming up to me asking for the recipe. I made it a second time with strawberry cake mix and it was good, but not quite as good as the lemon. Next time I will try chocolate! Can't believe such good, soft, yummy cookies come from 4 simple ingredients. Thanks for the recipe!

Very sticky dough to work with even after chilling. I also had to cook 12 minutes. They taste pretty good and are very pretty on a cookie tray.

I also had to bake for 15 min. Yield was 50 cookies. Caramel cake mix with chocolate cool whip. Yummy!

While the cookie itself was just ok, the process was one of the messiest ever. Wouldn't make these again for that reason alone.

These were absolutely delicious! I used red velvet cake mix to make these more festive for the holidays, and everyone raved about them. I put mine in the oven for about 9 minutes, and the recipe actually made about 50 cookies.

Tried this recipe today with the exception of adjusting the oven temperature to 325 because I have a convection over. I also used parchment paper to prevent sticking. The cookie really needs to bake until golden brown to give it a crunchy texture and prevent sticking. They also have a "cakey" texture when not cooked long enough. Nice flavor. Simple ingredients. Not sure if I will bake them again, but still a nice cookie.

I searched this recipe in Google, and this was the first one to come up! We had everything to make these cookies in our pantry/refrigerator, so I went and got everything. It was going OK, until I found out that the dough is NOT thick, it is rather sticky and gooey. You may need to add [a lot] of Confectioner's sugar to help this not stick, or just chill it. These cookies look so yummy, but I wish this person would've said something about having to chill it! And you can also use any kind of cake mix.... for me, I used Betty Crocker's Triple Chocolate Fudge. Mmm!

Hmm, not sure where to go with these. First off they were a pain in the behind to make. I thought my mixer was going to blow up, lol. Just that reason makes me not want to bother with them again. As far as the taste..it was ok. Like another reviewer said, its like eating cake in a cookie. That is if you cook em long enough. If cooked for a shorter time, they turn out very soft/sticky. I liked them better that way but they were difficult to handle.

Wow! Very sweet. And lemony, though. Very easy, too. The batter is very sticky, so it was a bit difficult to coat in confectioner's sugar but I prevailed. They turn out pretty and very gooey in the center, but I'm sure they'll harden. thanks for the recipe.

I made them for a cookie party and they were great!!! I used Red Velvet cake mix and then I used the faux Oreo frosting and made mini Red Velvet cake cookies.
