I know, it’s not officially summer yet…. but I am so ready for summer! It’s been a chilly spring here in Ohio, after a downright freezing winter, and I’m ready for some sunshine and warmer weather! This lemon cake mix cookies recipe reminds me of warmer days and fun in the sun! The cookies are super easy to make, with just a few ingredients, and perfect for spring or summer. The light lemony flavor make them perfect for a pool party, or a backyard barbecue.

These cookies are soft and chewy right out of the oven. You can store your lemon cake mix cookies in an airtight container for up to one week, so they’re perfect to make ahead for weekend fun in the sun!
To add a little variation to these you could also leave the powdered sugar off and glaze them with a little lemon icing, or add in some white chocolate chips. Yum! However you serve them up to your summer guests, don’t forget the lemonade!
