Quote:
1 pkg (18.25 oz) lemon cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp grated lemon zest
granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350 F
Cookie sheet, greased or lined with parchment paper (I didn't grease or line mine with anything and they were fine)

1. In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, combine cake mix, egg, melted butter and lemon zest, mixing until well blended.

2. Place granulated sugar in small shallow dish. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Roll balls in granulated sugar until evenly coated. Place about 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. Press flat with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake in preheated oven 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool for 5 minutes on sheet, then transfer to a rack and cool completely.


I guess I had it pretty close the first time. This cookie book I have is awesome, it tell me that these cookies are excellent for freezing. It also has a suggestion of making sandwich cookies by putting lemon frosting or raspberry jam between 2 cookies.

I took a bunch of these to work today and everyone loved them, so it must just be me being picky.

Ohhh I never thought of that, I bet you could, just be careful not to flatten the cookies much, or at all maybe.

I love lemon stuff too, I was so excited to try these. If they had powdered sugar I would have loved them...maybe next time. I have a recipe that uses coolwhip in the lemon cake mix, I might have to try that if I can find it again.

I think I need to start making some of the other recipes in this cookbook, they're all fairly easy and there's extra hints and tips with all the recipes. I love cookie cookbooks.

If you love lemon stuff - and even if you don't - these lemon bars from Martha Stewart are amazing:

There's also a link on that page to 5 additional lemon desserts. Enjoy!
