In large bowl, mix together the dry cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and lemon zest until combined.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
Roll in powdered sugar to coat evenly. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet about 2-inches apart.
Bake for 9 – 11 minutes, just until edges are firm and cracks appear. Let cool on pan for 3 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
