Ingredients
15.25ouncebox lemon cake mix
¼cupflour
½cupmelted butter
2eggs
¼cuppowdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350˚F.
In a large bowl, add the lemon cake mix, flour, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a stiff batter forms.
Form heaping tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, then roll each ball in powdered sugar to cover generously.
Bake on parchment lined baking sheet for 8-10 minutes, or until centers are just set.Let cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
I think it is easier to roll in the powdered sugar when you use more than 1/4 cup and pile it up in a small bowl, but you do end up wasting some and tossing it at the end.
When these come out of the oven they are almost like a gooey and molten in the middle!Once they sit for 15-20 minutes they will set and just be dense in the best way. Both are delicious!
