Lemon Drop Cookies

With Thanksgiving coming up next week and Christmas fast approaching I figured it might be time for a cookie series.  Simple, quick and easy cookie recipes you can put together and share with friends and loved ones.  With holiday parties, potlucks and entertaining on the horizon a fresh baked batch of cookies is always a nice thing to have on hand any time you need it.

Lemon Drop Cookies

1 lemon cake mix

2 eggs

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1-2 Tbs. powdered sugar

In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, eggs and oil to form your dough.  Pinch off enough dough to roll into a 1 inch ball.  Roll the balls in powdered sugar and place onto a lightly greased baking pan.  Bake 9 to 11 minutes at 375 degrees until the centers are set and the edges just start to brown.  Remove to a cooling rack then store in an airtight container.  Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies.

My first time baking on parchment paper

Not only quick and easy, but thrifty too!  You can make these in nothing flat and if you stock up on cake mixes like I do whenever they go on sale it makes them very inexpensive to make.  I definitely think these are Christmas tin worthy as well.

These are absolutely delicious!

Check back next week for my next easy and thrifty cookie recipe.  I'm excited to share these with you.
