Lemon Pound Cake Cookies Are Melt-in-Your-Mouth Yummy!
I have had the best experience making and snacking on these amazing lemon pound cake cookies. Soft, scrumptious and simple enough that my kiddo pretty much made them on her own!
Lemon Pound Cake Cookies
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we adore baking with the kiddo. But, honestly, there’s a big difference between making cookies by myself and when I am trying to let the kiddo take the wheel. This is one of those “let the kiddo drive” kind of recipes. So simple, and so no-fail, these lemon cake mix cookies are perfect for the beginner baker.

And the kiddo was so proud when we took our first bites–and let me tell you, the cookies were insanely good. Just mouthwateringly so. They were so soft and perfectly chewy. Oh, I could go on for days.

Tips to Make Lemon Cake Mix Cookies
- Always start with your favorite lemon flavored pound cake mix. Don’t feel like you have to use the one I used. They’ll all work.
- When you smoosh your cookies, don’t smoosh them totally flat. I mean, they need to be flat, but you want them to be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, so don’t push the bottom of the glass down until it touches the pan–that would be bad.
- I love the drizzle on these cookies. It’s like icing, but a lot lighter in nature than lofthouse cookies and the like. But if you don’t like any kind of icing, these cookies are still outstanding, even without the drizzle.
- Don’t overcook your cookies. They’ll be browned and crispy and not at all like the soft, squishy magicalness that these lemon pound cake cookies are intended to be.
