EASY CAKE MIX COOKIES- PERFECT LEMON COOKIE

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

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.
