Lemon Cookies

I volunteered to make a dessert for Karen's bridal shower and decided on making some cookies. My first choice was going to be the chocolate mint chip cookies I made a while back but since Kath was making her super yummy brownies I wanted something that wasn't chocolate.

I decided on making two different things...my biscotti and Lemon Cake Cookies. Someone I worked with gave me a REALLY good recipe for the lemon cake cookies but I didn't have the time to make that version. The reason why I did not have the time is because I need to bake after the kids go to sleep. I am not sure if any of you have this problem but I can't really bake with my kids around. The reason being is because Jacob will ask me every 5 minutes...is it ready...can I have some...what are you making...can I have some...is it ready and this will go on the whole entire time.

1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration


1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2) Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Stir in eggs, oil, and lemon extract until well blended. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough into a bowl of confectioners' sugar. Roll them around until they're lightly covered. Once sugared, put them on an ungreased cookie sheet.



3)Bake for 6 to 9 minutes in the preheated oven. The bottoms will be light brown, and the insides chewy.


Review: I really did not know what the expect from these cookies but I was pleasantly surprised. They came out great and really something that is easy to make...5 ingredients and you don't have to break out your mixer! If you go on allrecipe.com and look at their pictures the cookies have more sugar on them. I am not really sure why my sugar disappeared. I might try rolling them in coarse or granulated sugar the next time I make these cookies. This one is a keeper for sure!
