Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, gently combine the lemon cake mix, crispy rice cereal, melted unsalted butter, and slightly beaten egg until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender cookie. (5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Roll the dough into 36 uniform 1-inch balls. Arrange them on ungreased cookie sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow for even baking. (10 minutes)

04

Step
12 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are beautifully golden brown, approximately 9 to 12 minutes. Keep a close watch to prevent over-baking. (10 minutes)

05

Step
1 hrs

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This brief cooling period helps them set properly. (1 minute)

For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider adding the zest of one lemon to the batter.
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.
Experiment with different crispy cereals for unique textural variations.
If you're short on time, use a small cookie scoop to portion the dough for quicker preparation.

    Mine came out a little flat. Maybe I overmixed the dough?
