From the blog Jamie cooks it up.

2 boxes lemon cake mix
1 cup butter melted
2 eggs
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 (12 oz) package white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon shortening
Powdered sugar

Melt butter and add to the cake mixes. Mix it around for just a bit and add your eggs.

Squeeze your fresh lemon and add it to the mix.

Mix it with a wooden spoon or with your Kitchen Aid until combined.

Add all but 1/2 cup of the white chocolate chips, mix just until incorporated evenly.

Roll into 1 1/2-inch balls, place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 F for 8 minutes (6 minutes for at 325 F for convection ovens). Be careful not to over bake. Take the cookies out of the oven when they have cracked on the top. Then, let them finish cooking on the hot cookie sheet for about 2 minutes. Put on a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

Melt the remaining 1/2 cup white chips in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add the shortening to the chips and stir. If they are not melting, put them in the microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. Do not get it too hot.

Drizzle the white chocolate over the tops of the cookies with a spoon.

Sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar. Let the cookies rest on the wire rack until the white chocolate has set up.

Makes 50 cookies
