When my girls were young, they loved these cookies. They make a small batch, so they never lasted long. The dough is sticky–thank goodness for that powdered sugar! If you love lemon and want to add a little more zing, you could add 1/2 teaspoon or even a full teaspoon of lemon extract.
Of course, there are variations on the Internet (oil instead of Cool Whip), but this is the recipe that I’ve made again and again.
Easy Lemon Cookies
- 1 pkg. lemon cake mix

- 1 egg
- 5 oz. Cool Whip, thawed
- Powdered sugar
Mix the cake mix, egg, and Cool Whip. (Remember, the dough will be sticky.)
Roll dough into balls.
Roll in powdered sugar.
Bake 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Please enjoy!

Neat recipe!
Will any other cake mix work with this? Hate lemon but the recipe sounds interesting. Thanks for any info,
Try red velvet. My family loved them.
I’m sure any cake mix would work! No reason why it wouldn’t. Great suggestion from scaredsilly to use red velvet. I’m thinking a spice cake mix would be really good, too.
Whatever your favorite flavor is, right?
Sounds delicious!
I did the lemon cool whip cookies and red velvet cool whip cookies for Christmas. The red velvet was a repeat from last year, because my grandkids asked for them again.
Wow, scaredsilly. I would never have thought of red velvet, but if it passed the grandkids test, they would’ve been delicious!
Thanks for sharing the idea!
Thanks for sharing Pam.
Wow, I’ve got to make these. My husband loves lemon pies and cakes. I think he would devour these. Thank you for giving us this easy recipe.
You’re very welcome, Tonya. The batch is just the right size for the two of you.
I love lemon!! Thanks for the recipe!
Another lemon lover! Yay!
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to try these.
I love anything lemon or chocolate and will have to try these sometime. The boys here will love them.
Thank for the quicky cookie recipe!!
This recipe sounds very good, I love lemon, thanks!
Sound good. I love things that are easy to make.
Me, too, Charlene. It seems with just my husband and me, easier recipes that make smaller batches just makes sense.
Thanks for stopping by!
I love anything lemon!! And these are so easy. I’ll definitely be making them. A nice kick-off to Cowgirl in the Kitchen, Pam.
Aw, thanks, Linda! Your recipe will be good, too, when it’s your turn to share.
Yum! I love lemon, too!! I’ll have to try this easy recipe! Thanks, Pam!
I’m loving all the lemon-lovers here today.
And ya’ll are very, very welcome. I love sharing recipes!
Good morning, your recipe sounds delicious, my adult son loves lemon cakes and this recipe sounds delicious and super easy. I am sending him a copy of it, I will also be sharing the recipe with my daughter, she loves to cook and bake. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Have a great day.
Thoughtful of you to think of your family and pass along my recipe, Alicia. They can’t help but love these cookies.
welcome. I love girl in the kitchen picture. oh but I love lemon and cookies. thanks for sharing this recipe
Don’t you wish we all looked like her when we cook, Lori? Ha-ha! I don’t know anyone who cooks in a wide-brimmed hat and boots with spurs, but that ruffled apron provides just the right amount of color.
Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks for sharing the recipe. I love lemon and these sound really good.
These sound great! And, especially that they’re easy, and you won’t spend a lot of time in the kitchen!
Ha! Exactly, Trudy!!
Sounds very easy. Thank you. God bless you.
Thank you so much fir this recipe. I love lemon and this is quick and easy. Lemon cake mix is a handy base. I use it for a pound cake, but cookies will be much more enjoyable.
Hi, Pat! Do you remember when Cool Whip came in 5 oz tubs? I don’t think that size is available anymore, but it’s proof how long this lemon cookie recipe has been around. An oldie but a goodie, for sure.
I’m glad so many of you want to try this easy-peasy recipe! Be sure to keep an eye out for next month’s quick and easy recipe from Jessie Gussman!
Pam this looks FABULOUS and easy. I know we will love them when we make them. My daughter and my daughter-in-law both love lemon (and I do too)! I’m looking forward to making these!
