Ingredients
Lemon Cookies:
115.25 oz. boxlemon cake mix
2large eggs
⅓cupvegetable oil
1teaspoonlemon juice
sprinklesfor rolling cookie dough into
Raspberry Frosting:
1 ½cuppowdered sugar
½teaspoonvanilla extract
3Tablespoonsraspberry preserves
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Using an electric or stand mixer, mix together the lemon cake mix, eggs, oil, and lemon juice until combined.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough on prepared baking sheet. Pour sprinkles into a small bowl. Using your hands, roll the dough into balls and drop each ball into the sprinkles, coat them entirely.
Once balls are sprinkled, place on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Make the frosting by mixing softened butter on medium speed with an electric or stand mixer. Beat for about 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Increase to high-speed and beat for 3 minutes. Stir in raspberry perserves, mix until combined. Frost cooled cookies using a piping bag with a open star tip or simply by using a knife.
Notes
I like to use yellow and white sprinkles to match the lemon, but pink would also look great and tie in to the flavor!
