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.
Easy Lemon Cookies – 2 WW pts – makes 2 dozen (Original recipe from Allrecipes.com)
1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon extract – I used juice and zest from 1 lemon
1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar for decoration
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon extract – I used juice and zest from 1 lemon
1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar for decoration
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
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.
Bake for 6 to 9 minutes in the preheated oven. The bottoms will be light brown, and the insides chewy.
I coated the cookies with a mixture of the juice and zest of one lemon mixed with some powdered sugar because I wanted a tangy lemon flavor.

This sounds awesome! The pictures are wonderful as well. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get good burger pictures. I love the pizza sauce on this! Thanks!
Yum! I love chicken parmesan and I love burgers, so why not, right? They look delicious!

I love how there are so many variations of burgers! Yours sound delcious!
I love chicken parmesan so this sound so great to me! Like you, I love living in the city but wish I could grill during the summer!
So glad you liked them! Love the caramelized onions on top. I just had a burger with bbq caramelized onions this week. 🙂
i love this idea! was writing my grocery list and realized there is no parmesan in the recipe?
That’s a good point, there isn’t actually Parmesan in it… You could use parm instead of provolone cheese.
