  • Author: Maria
  • Total Time: 40-42 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Description

These soft and chewy Lemon Blossoms are bursting with fresh lemon flavor, coated in a sweet sugar mixture, and drizzled with a tangy lemon glaze. Perfect for lemon lovers, they make a delightful treat for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (freshly grated)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. (Crack the eggs into a separate bowl first to avoid shell mishaps.)
  2. Add the freshly grated lemon zest to the mixture.
  3. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined (about 2-3 minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and granulated sugar for rolling the cookies.
  8. Scoop out small portions of the chilled batter (about 1 inch in diameter) using a cookie scoop or tablespoon.
  9. Roll each scoop into a ball using your hands.
  10. Roll each ball in the sugar mixture until fully coated.
  11. Place the sugar-coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  12. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked.
  13. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  14. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining powdered sugar and lemon juice to create a simple glaze.
  15. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies in a zig-zag pattern.
  16. Let the glaze set for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cookies are completely cooled before glazing for the best texture.
  • Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
