  • 1 box Lemon Supreme moist cake mix
  • 8 oz Cool Whip
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 small lemons (grated rind)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Lemon Supreme cake mix, Cool Whip, egg, and grated lemon rind together in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Place two cups of powdered sugar in a small bowl.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough into the powdered sugar, then roll and shape into balls.
  4. Place the coated dough balls on a greased cookie sheet.
  5. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 7 to 10 minutes, until lightly golden but not overcooked.
  6. Allow cookies to cool slightly before removing from the baking sheet.

Tips & Substitutions

For a lighter texture, consider using egg whites instead of a whole egg. If you want a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract. You can also substitute the Cool Whip with whipped cream if preferred. For a unique twist, try adding a pinch of salt to enhance the lemon flavor. Ensure your lemon zest is finely grated for better distribution throughout the cookies.

Serving Suggestions

These Lemon Supreme Cookies are perfect for afternoon tea or as a light dessert. They pair beautifully with a refreshing Easy Punch Recipe for a delightful gathering. You can serve them alongside fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance the tartness of the lemon. Garnish with additional lemon zest for an elegant touch.
