These cookies are ridiculously easy to bake. Two words: box mix. Don’t judge.
In fact, you probably have some cake mix in your pantry now, right? Dig it out.
Make a quick dessert for the weekend. It’s Mother’s Day! I’m sure your mom/grandma/etc. won’t turn these down unless she’s a master critique in which case, don’t let her have a bite. Just kidding!
You are allowed only 1 cookie and must give away the rest. Trust me on this.

I have recently fell in love with lemon cookies. These look so good!
These look delicious and I definitely don't judge you for the box mix!!! I am about to go follow a recipe with a mix myself. : )
Thanks, Georgia! Even though I'm normally not a box-mix fan, these were pretty tasty. 🙂
Love your combination of tropical lemon and coconut in these cookies! They look so fluffy and soft!
Lemon and coconut all in one cookie….amazing.
