Super lemon cookies. If you like lemon, you're going to love these cookies. They're soft, chewy, and packed with bold lemon flavor. Partially because most lemon cookie recipes look lackluster in the lemon flavoring department, look too cakey for my liking, or look too flat and wimpy. These super easy lemon cookies are made from a cake mix and are chewy with a slightly gooey center. I've been on a lemon kick all week.
I was trialing various cakes and found this great lemon loaf recipe.
Once I accomplished finding a satisfactory cake, I ventured over to cookies.
Fans of lemon poppyseed muffins will love these cookies that have a similar flavor, but in a light, crispy-edged treat.
