I made these over Christmas and they were a huge hit…as a matter of fact, they were the favorite! I can’t believe how refreshing and light they are…the lemon zest and juice (I used freshly squeezed) made for a truly amazing cookie. thanks for sharing!

Hi Hiratana,

Thank you for the comment; I’m so thrilled to hear that you enjoy my site! As far as the cookies go, the formulation for the recipe is built on the cookie mix, but you could certainly try it with the chocolate mix and make chocolate cookies, adding in some chocolate chips. And tiramisu cookies sound like they would be divine!

Hi!
I must say that I really love your recipes! In fact I have already done some of them to my friends and they just loved them ! I really wanted to do the lemon burst cookies too but unfortunetly where I live they don’t have lemon cake mix(there was only chocolate and tiramisu ). I was wondering if you could tell me what I could replace it with? pleaseee ^^

I’ll admit, these do look good. I’ve never made cake mix cookies. Like you, I prefer to make things from scratch. But I love lemon and I love simple cookies, so I think I need to give these a try.

WOW!! Do you think I can try these with oranges/satsumas? They’re an abundance in my backyard!

I love your blog!!! I make a version of these that only calls for 4 oz cool whip, 1 egg and a box of cake mix (any flavor). Lemon cake mix is probably my favorite, and I like to add some lemon zest to the dough to amp up the lemon. I’ve made DOZENS of variations, including spice cake mix with finely chopped candied ginger mixed in. Everyone loves my semi-homemade cookies and can never believe it when I tell them how easy they are!

These cookies are great! I just made a batch for a breast cancer fund raiser bake sale. I used a white “french vanilla” cake mix, sub 2 tsp vanilla extract instead of the lemon and a couple of drops of red food color. This might be the fastest, easiest cookie recipe ever! Everyone loved them. Thanks for posting it!

I have seen these “crinkle” type cookies made with chocolate and with strawberry cake mix but never with lemon. These definitely sound delicious.

Ooo yum these look awesome! I’ve made chocolate crackles before which look just like this but obviously are dark brown/black.

I made those last night and they are so moist and lemony. I was worried because the batter was a bit on the runny side, but it turned out perfect. Yum

Hi Kokotaru,

I think you could probably take a butter or sugar cookie recipe and add the lemon zest, juice and extract to it for a lemon cookie. I would probably use the same amounts as are listed in this recipe and then scale up depending on how the first batch comes out and how strong you like your lemon baked goods. I hope that helps!
