- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest

- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, lemon juice, lemon zest, oil, and eggs. Stir until a thick dough forms. Fold in the white chocolate chips if using.
- Form Dough: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Optionally, roll each ball in powdered sugar for a crinkle effect.
- Bake: Place the dough balls on the baking sheet and bake for 9 to 11 minutes until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft.

- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Chilling the dough for 15–30 minutes can result in thicker cookies.
