Easy Lemon Cookies

I made these in desperation the other night, when I needed to make a lot of cookies in a short amount of time for a fundraiser I was putting on. Not to say this recipe makes a bunch of cookies, because it doesn't, but it does make some--more quickly than typical cookies. And they were loved by all who ate them-to the point that they were all gone before I could even taste one.  Many people asked for the recipe and were in shock when I told them I just used a cake mix. I love things that are delicious, easy, and taste like they were a lot of work!

1 package lemon cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp lemon extract (I used lemon juice because I was out of extract, and it worked perfectly)
1/3 cup powdered sugar for decoration (I used granulated sugar because I didn't have powdered sugar, and it worked just fine)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Pour cake mix into large bowl. Stir in eggs, oil, and lemon extract until blended. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough into a bowl of powdered sugar, and roll them around until they are lightly covered. Once sugared, put them on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 6-9  minutes. After removing from the oven, let them sit on the pan for 3-5 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack.
