These cookies are another recipe from the shoebox of recipes my Grandma left me, and I’m honestly surprised they weren’t the first recipe I made. Anything with lemon in it gets automatically earmarked, but I guess these got overlooked by other, flashier recipes.

Now that I’ve had them though, it wont be long before I make them again. Using lemon cake mix as the base of the recipe means that these come together incredibly quickly and easily, and the addition of the Rice Krispies cereal elevates them above an average lemon cookie.

Now, my OG Box Mix Lemon Cookie recipe will always and forever be my favorite lemon cookie, but these guys have definitely made their way into my heart. Why aren’t you already making them???

  Hi there! I don’t do a lot of calorie counting, so I don’t have that information, but there are calorie counters you can find online to figure out the calories. Thanks!

I'm going to be making these lemon crisp cookies as soon as the weather
cools a bit. Is it necessary to use unsalted butter? I "LUV" anything lemon!!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.

  Yes... they will be too dry without it. I think I am.also going to add about 1 tablespoon of sour cream or "Creama" to it also. Bake on parchment paper since they are so light, and usually won't get too hard.

  I generally use unsalted butter for baking because I prefer to adjust the salt myself. You could use salted butter, but it will change the flavor of the cookies a bit.
