Notes
Expert Tip: Watch Your Bake Time. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Each oven is different. Watch the baking time closely so that the cookies do not overbake by setting the timer a minute before you believe they will be done to check the cookies. You’ll know they're done when they start to crack on the top.
Room Temperature: Once your lemon cake mix cookies are cooled completely on a cooling rack, store them at room temperature in an airtight container. They will maintain their chewy texture and zesty lemon flavor for up to 3 days.
Refrigerate: If you want to extend the shelf life of your cookies, you can refrigerate them. Place the cookies in a sealed container and they can be refrigerated for up to a week. Before enjoying them, let them come to room temperature to get back their original taste and texture.
Freeze: You can also freeze these lemon crinkle cookies for longer storage. Simply place the cooled cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the cookies into a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
