Lemon Fluffies • 3 Ingredient Cake Mix Cookies! (2024)

Sometimes I share recipes just for fun. Lemon Fluffies are made with just 3 ingredients and it’s one of those I’ll believe it when I see it moments. Strawberry Fluffies were a viral sensation last spring, so this year I thought I’d try a lemon version. These cookies have a crackled surface, a distinct lemony flavor and a soft cakey texture. Should you make them? Let me put it this way ~ if you’re bored stiff, babysitting kids on a rainy day, or just can’t resist a good cake mix hack, then yes! All others read on and decide for yourself 🙂

lemon Fluffies ingredients

Don’t blink!

• a lemon cake mix
  • I use Duncan Hine’s Signature Lemon Cake. This line of mixes is made with natural flavorings. I use them in all my cake mix recipes like my Brown Sugar Peach Cake and my Cherry Almond Crisp Dump Cake.
• a tub of Cool Whip
  • I use Extra Creamy
• powdered sugar

how to make lemon fluffies step by step

Step 1. Dump your lemon cake mix and Cool Whip into a bowl

Stir, stir, stir. The batter is a bit sticky, so stick with it! Get both of those ingredients well incorporated. There should be no streaks of Cool Whip or dry cake mix left.

Step 2. Scoop out balls of dough and roll in powdered sugar

I use a small 1″ cookie scoop, about a rounded tablespoon. Roll in the powdered sugar to coat liberally.

Step 3. Place on lined baking sheet 2″ apart

Even though these lemon fluffies don’t spread much it’s a good idea to space them 2 inches apart to help them cook evenly.

step 4. Bake for about 10-12 minutes

Visual cues are not particularly helpful with lemon fluffies. They won’t look all that different from when they went in the oven, except that they will have spread and crackled a bit. They will crackle more as they cool.

conclusion on lemon fluffies

If you like a soft cakey cookie these lemon fluffies aren’t bad at all! The flavor is bright and the texture is pleasant, but be aware they are a sweet cookie. I think they’d be a good addition to a cookie assortment where you’re looking for variety.

can you make fluffies with other cake mix flavors?

I think it would be fun to think about other cake mix varieties you could try; chocolate and red velvet come to mind. Strawberry fluffies are the originals, made with a strawberry cake mix. There are probably add ins like sprinkles, finely chopped nuts, or mini chips to experiment with too, depending on your ‘flavor profile’.
