Easy Lemon Cookies (2 WW Pts)
This recipe comes from Allrecipes.com. After reading the reviews, it seemed that a lot of people thought they tasted “boxed-cake-mixy” and not very lemony. Since I had some lemons in the fridge and love the taste of lemon, I altered the recipe some in an attempt to make them with a tangy lemon flavor.
The flavor was great, although I undercooked them a bit. I forgot to reduce the temperature of my oven to account for the fact that I was baking them on a dark cookie sheet. All of hubby’s coworkers liked the cookies.

These look great as mini-cupcakes! I am so glad everyone liked them, and I like what you did to intensify the coconut flavor. Nicely done! 🙂
What a delicious flavor for cupcakes… and thank you for submitting it to this month’s Tasty Tools!
These look delicious! And thanks for the note about the coconut cream too!
What a great summery cupcake!
Those sound good and look even better! Love the lime zest you can see in the frosting!
That would have been cute to see the KA buckled in!

They’re so darn cute!
Thanks everyone! They were definitely a hit at the party
Yummers, I just made pina colada cupcakes, but these look amazing and I will try them someday. I have never gotten the stand alone foil cups to work for me.
