Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Step 2

Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium speed, beat together the cake mix, Cool Whip, egg, and lemon zest until well combined.

Step 3

Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the cookie dough.

Step 4

Gently roll the dough balls in the powdered sugar.

Step 5

Place the rolled dough balls 1½ inches apart. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the cookies are just beginning to become golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
