Lemon Cheesecake Cookies
You wont believe these were made with box cake mix!!! This is such a cool hack and it all comes together in under 15 minutes!
Ingredients
Cookie
1 package lemon cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
*OPTIONAL*
1 tsp lemon extract, zest of 1 lemon and 1 tsp lemon juice
Cream Cheese Topping:
Half a block of cream cheese
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon juice
Lemon zest to sprinkle on top!
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients listed under “cookie” - no seriously, just mix everything together until combined.
Get a cookie scoop or a large spoon and spoon dough into ball shapes. Lightly roll the balls into a bowl of powdered sugar. Transfer to lined cookie sheet and bake for 9 minutes!
Meanwhile, make the frosting. Beat softened cream cheese, vanilla extract and lemon juice till combined. Add in the powdered sugar and beat till smooth.
Once cookies are done, set on a wire rack to cool. Once cooled, spread frosting on top and top with some grated lemon zest!
