EASY CAKE MIX COOKIES- PERFECT LEMON COOKIE



Easy Cake Mix Cookies- Perfect Lemon Cookie image

I frequently make these cookies for work pitch-ins & family get-togethers. They are always a big hit! I was given the basic recipe several years ago by a lady who showed up at my garage sale-and she wrote it down during our conversation about baking. I have perfected different varieties over the years. Please see my other recipes for how to make the following versions of this cookie: chocolate-chocolate chip, chocolate chip, & sugar cookies. This is a really versatile recipe base-experiment!!

Provided by KitchenAndCraftAdve

Categories     Dessert

Time 13m

Yield 24-36 cookies, 24-36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (18 ounce) box lemon supreme cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Stir ingredients in medium mixing bowl until blended (best to do right before you are ready to bake them- they flatten out more if you let the batter set).
  • Spoon onto 2 un-greased cookie sheets (allow some space in between, they spread...a melon baller works great for this step).
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes (depends on which cake mix you use & the oven -- I start looking at them through the glass around 6.5 minutes -- they will get a dull/cracked appearance on top when done).
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the pan, or wait 1-2 minutes before moving to cooling racks. Cookies will be soft/chewy.
  • While lemon cookies are cooling, mix together the powdered sugar & lemon juice in a small bowl, add more powdered sugar for a stiffer glaze. Lightly brush or drizzle glaze onto warm cookies on the cooling rack.

CRAB/CLAM CAKE SLIDERS WITH EASY LEMON AIOLI



Crab/Clam Cake Sliders With Easy Lemon Aioli image

From a local publication. This time around I tested 'Fully Loaded Baked Potato' flavored Kettle Chips. Mmm! Description from the Kettle Chips' website: "This creamy, smoky, cheesy chip doesn't hold back on the flavor front. Dive into a collection of toppings straight from the baked potato bar - tangy sour cream, fresh green onion, rich cheddar cheese - and an all-natural smoky flavor."

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 10 sliders

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup mayonnaise, divided (I used an olive-oil based mayonnaise)
1 lemon, juice and zest of
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (replaced 1/4 teaspoon crushed dried thyme or you can use fresh parsley)
1 lb lump crabmeat (confession ( cheated and used 4 cans of Snow's minced clams, drained)
1 cup crushed kettle-cooked potato chips (read intro)
2 -3 tablespoons yellow onions, finely minced (optional, my addition)
1/4-1/3 cup minced celery (include some leaves)
2 teaspoons Old Bay Seasoning (see Old Bay Seasoning #2, this can be omitted read my *NOTE below.)
2 eggs
10 slider buns
lettuce (optional)

Steps:

  • *NOTE: Depending on the flavor of the potato chips you choose, the Old Bay Seasoning can be omitted. For example, the first time I tried this recipe I tested 'Fully Loaded' Kettle Chips and I wanted those flavors highlighted. Also, if desired the cakes can be pan fried in either a little bit of oil or a combination of oil and butter.
  • Preheat oven to 350º F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together *1/2 cup* of the mayonnaise, the lemon zest and juice, garlic, Dijon mustard and parsley. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat (canned or fresh), potato chips, celery, Old Bay seasoning, the remaining 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, and the eggs. Cover bowl and refrigerate mixture for at least 30 minutes. Tip: Chilling is important because it firms up the mixture and makes it much easier to shape into patties.
  • Mix well, then form into 10 patties, each about 2 1/2 inches across and 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the patties on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the crab cakes for approximately 25 minutes rotating the pan as needed for even browning. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
  • Serve the crab cakes on buns with the aioli condiment. Add lettuce, if desired.
  • Reminder: Cooking time shown above is for pan frying.
