    Bake the lemon crinkle cookies with cake mix for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Don't you just love how the tops get all crinkly?

    After you remove the 3 ingredient lemon cookies from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes and then move them to a baking rack to cool.

    You can enjoy these lemon crinkle cookies with cake mix as is, or you can add a dusting of powdered sugar on top. It just makes them look so pretty!

    You can also serve these topped with frosting. We used premade vanilla frosting and it was a delicious addition to these cookies made with cake mix. We couldn't decide the best way to enjoy these, so we left some plain, frosted some, and sprinkled powdered sugar on the others. You can't go wrong either way!

      In the instructions it says "pour the the chocolate cake mix into a large bowl." It may need to be corrected.
