Light as Air Lemon Cookies

With the start of unseasonably warm weather a week or so ago, I decided that I needed to bring cookies to one of my classes.  Since I only had an hour until class, I knew cookies from scratch were probably not an option, so I turned to my pantry and dry cake mixes.  Chocolate sounded too heavy, Vanilla too boring, but Lemon, I felt that that should hit the spot.  Colorful and bright, I figured the lemon flavor and bright color would be perfect for a spring day.  Sort of following the recipe from Duncan Hines, I came up with Light as Air Lemon Cookies, a perfect treat for a day that needs some sunshine. 
I modified this recipe a bit after I read some suggestions that were posted on the website.  Instead of oil I added a cup of light sour cream and a tablespoon of room temperature butter.  The texture was light, airy, butter but tart, a perfect lemon cookie.  My classmates raved about them and they couldn't be simpler!
