Equipment

  • 2 large 18x26" cookie sheet pans
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 small mixing bowl
  • 1 lemon zester or grater
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 shallow dish
  • 1 fork

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tbsp. unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1 box Duncan Hines Red Velvet cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp. lemon zest

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Melt butter; set aside to cool.
  • Place powdered sugar and cornstarch in shallow dish.
  • Mix with a fork to blend.
  • Place cake mix in a bowl.
  • Add cooled butter, eggs, and lemon zest.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon until well blended and a soft dough forms.
  • Do your best to work out all the small lumps from the cake mix.
  • Form dough into small 1-inch balls.
  • Roll in powdered sugar mixture until well coated.
  • Place on really well-greased or well-sprayed cookie sheets.
  • Bake about 12 minutes at 375° or until cracks form in cookies and cookies test done.
  • Rotate cookie sheets on oven racks half way through baking time.
  • Allow cookies to cool.
  • Store in airtight container.

Notes

NOTE: You need to spray your cookie sheets really well or use Bakers Joy cooking spray to well coat the cookie sheets. Otherwise the cookies may chip when trying to remove them from the pan.
 
 
NOTE: Make sure you coat the cookies with powdered sugar really well before baking. Otherwise, too much of it will evaporate into the cookie while baking.
