Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well blended. Place confectioners’ sugar into a medium bowl.

Using a medium cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons), drop balls of dough (dough will be sticky) into the confectioners’ sugar, roll to coat. Gently form dough into a ball by lightly rolling between your palms.

Place dough balls on prepared baking pan about two inches apart.

Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. The bottoms will be set but middles will look slightly undercooked. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on pan before removing to a wire rack.
