Cake:

  • 1 box lemon cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil

  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  1. Preheat oven to 375.

  3. Drop the mixture (in cookie form) on a greased sheet pan.
  4. Bake for 7-8 minutes.
  5. In the meantime, put the powdered sugar in a bowl and slowly stir in the gin and lemon juice. Mix.
  6. Slowly add 1/4c water until the sugar is dissolved completely and it should be a thin frosting texture. Set aside.
  7. Remove cookies from oven and place on parchment paper. Drizzle with frosting and let cool.
