Notes
Butter: When it comes to cake mix cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it. However, I've found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.
Make Ahead Tips: These cookies are SO easy to prep ahead of time! The dough can be made ahead of time, then stored covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days prior to baking your lemon cookies.
How to Store: After your lemon cookies have baked and completely cooled, they will last well simply stored at room temperature, covered in an airtight container, for up to 3 days.
