Lemon Snowflakes are delightful, soft cookies made with a lemon cake mix combined with whipped topping and an egg. Rolled in confectioners’ sugar and baked until lightly browned with crackled tops, these treats offer a perfect balance of citrus flavor and sweet softness, making them ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 package lemon cake mix (regular size)
  • Confectioners’ sugar (for rolling)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2-1/4 cups whipped topping
  • 1 large egg, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when your dough is prepared.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, 2-1/4 cups of whipped topping, and one large room temperature egg. Stir until the batter is well blended. Note that the batter will be very sticky, which is expected for this recipe.
  3. Coat Dough Balls: Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into a separate bowl filled with confectioners’ sugar and roll them lightly to coat them evenly with sugar.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheets: Place the coated dough balls onto ungreased baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow spreading.
  5. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are lightly browned and cracked. These visual cues indicate the perfect texture has been achieved.
  6. Cool Down: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • The batter will be sticky; using powdered sugar helps manage the stickiness during shaping.
  • Do not grease the baking sheets, as this allows the cookies to bake with the ideal texture.
  • For an extra lemony flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
  • Ensure the egg is at room temperature to help with proper mixing and texture.
  • Cool the cookies completely for the best taste and texture before serving or storing.
