These Lemon Coconut Heaven Cookies are light, fluffy, and packed with bright lemon flavor and tropical coconut, making them the perfect easy dessert for spring and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional, for extra lemon flavor)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until fully combined and a thick dough forms.
  3. Fold in the shredded coconut and lemon zest (if using).
  4. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are just beginning to crack.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated lemon zest for a brighter citrus flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookies.
  • Can be frozen for up to 2 months.
