1. To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large mixing bowl and electric mixer) combine the butter, sugars, egg, lemon extract, and beat on medium-high speed until creamed, light, fluffy, and well combined, about 4 minutes.
2. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the lemon zest, honey, optional food coloring, and beat on medium-high speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. I used 1 teaspoon gel food coloring; add drops or gel to desired shade. One teaspoon gel makes the batter quite yellow but it mellows slightly after adding the dry ingredients.
3. Stop, scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour, cornstarch, optional salt, and baking soda (keep the baking soda in a nice little mound rather than sprinkling it).
4. Add the lemon juice directly on top of the baking soda. It will bubble and foam, which means the baking soda has been activated and this is good; if your soda doesn’t bubble it’s old and expired. Beat on low speed until just combined, about 1 minute.

1. Preheat your oven to 350 and prep a cookie pan for nonstick. I use parchment paper.
2. If you are making your own cake mix, combine the ingredients listing in #1 above together in a mixing bowl. Otherwise, pour your lemon cookie mix into a mixing bowl.
3. To your ingredients in the mixing bowl, beat in the eggs one at a time. Then add the vegetable oil, lemon extract, and the vanilla extract.
4. This batter will be a bit looser than a normal cookie batter. It will also bake to be a bit 'puffier' than a normal cookie as we are basing this on a cake mix. Thus, your will need to drop the cookies onto the cookie sheet rather than using a scoop or rolling them out. If using granular sugar alternative, place the alternative into a shallow bowl and drip the cookie batter into the bowl and cover with sugar. Then place the cookies onto the cookie sheet.
