This was adapted from two other cookie recipes. I wanted to make something 'Lemony' to take to a dear lady friend who is the nursing home, following a stroke. She used to love to cook and has published a few cookbooks in her time. She loves anything with lemon. At first I was going to bake a lemon bundt cake and take her part of that, then decided it would be easier for her to manage cookies in her room, and she spends her days in a wheelchair.

Ingredients For easy and chewy lemon cookies

  • 1 container (8 oz.) cool whip whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup confectioner’s sugar

How To Make easy and chewy lemon cookies

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 2 cookie sheets with cooking spray.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, stir together cake mix, whipped topping and egg until combined. (Dough will be really thick and sticky.)
  • 3
    Place powdered sugar in small bowl. Using wet hands, shape tablespoonfuls of dough into balls; roll in powdered sugar. Place at least 2” apart on cookie sheets.
  • 4
    Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are set; don’t allow them to turn brown, otherwise they will become hard and not remain delicate and chewy.
  • 5
    Remove from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 – 8 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack to finish cooling.
