Deep South Eats: Lemon Crinkles

After baking seven pans of cinnamon rolls last night to gift to neighbors and friends, I am definitely in the holiday spirit. Last week, my precious little nut had her Christmas program at school. Each parent was asked to bring in a dozen cookies (which if you ask me a dozen times 16 kids is a lot of cookies). I needed something quick and easy. I remembered a wonderful lemon cookie my friend Melodye had at her son's first birthday party. When she informed me how simple the recipe was, I knew it was the cookie for me!


Ingredients:

• 1 box of lemon cake mix
• 1 8-ounce tub of cool whip
• 1 egg
• Confectioner's sugar

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 and prepare baking sheet with parchment paper or baking spray (really if you haven't started using parchment now is the time to do it).
• Mix together cake mix, cool whip and egg until well blended. Dough will be very thick and sticky.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls into a small bowl of powdered sugar and roll to coat.
• Place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes and allow to cool on baking rack.

Think of all the possibilities...strawberry cake mix, chocolate cake mix, funfetti cake mix...

I even rolled some in raw sugar for a more crunchy texture.
