This Simple Lemon Cookies recipe makes the loveliest light, lemon cookies!

These delightful Cake mix lemon cookies only take a few ingredients and you won’t believe how easy they are and just how delicious they are too! These are also perfect for a spring brunch, afternoon tea or as a lunchbox treat!

Hello Friends! Hope you are having a great week and staying warm. It has been chilly here and there is nothing that warms me up like a cup of hot steaming tea. Of course, I also need a little something to go with it and today I am sharing the perfect cookie recipe when you want a light, sweet treat.

There is something so soothing about tea and cookies, that just taking a moment to think about it relaxes me.While pretty much any freshly baked cookie will do, one of my favorites is a cookie made with this Lemon Cookie Recipe from a cake mix. 

This is an updated recipe from a couple of years ago.

I have tasted many a lemon cookie in my lifetime. I like lemon bars, but sometimes I just long for something a little less sweet. One of my all-time favorites was the Lemon Pastry Creme cookie that the Girl Scouts made several years ago.

I am still waiting for the Girl Scouts to bring those back.

At least, I can hope.

In the meantime, I make these super simple lemon cookies using a boxed lemon cakes mix.

They are so simple and perfect for brunch, or tea.

Have one with me won’t you? Do you drink hot tea? What is your favorite flavor?

I am always for a good shortcut and using a cake mix to make these cookies is a good one. Everyone loves these cookies!
