WHITE CHOCOLATE LEMON COOKIES
2 boxes lemon cake mix
1 C butter {the real stuff}
2 eggs
1 T fresh lemon juice
1 package white chocolate chips
1/2 t shortening
powdered sugar
1. Melt butter and add it to cake mix.
2. Stir and add in two eggs.
3. Stir some more and add the lemon juice.
4. Add all but 1/2 C of white chocolate chips. Stir until these are all mixed in.
5. Roll 1 1/2 inch balls, place on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 8 min. {until top is cracked}
6. Let sit on cookie sheet for 2 min and then transfer to a wire rack.
7. Melt remaining chips for 30 seconds. Add shortening and stir. If they need to be melted more continue melting for 15 seconds at a time. Do not overheat.
8. Drizzle chocolate on with a spoon.
9. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
10. Eat and pass out. {as in faint. DO NOT SHARE THESE.}
Now, normally I go with the more the better philosophy. I didn’t drizzle with a spoon. I got a sandwich baggie out, filled it with the yummy chocolate, cut the tip off of the bag and drizzled that way. Don’t do that. It was a mistake. The thin little drizzles that a spoon will deliver are far more flattering to this little cookie.
Regardless, these are delicious. Before you eat pour yourself some of this.
Or maybe get one of these on stand by.
You are going to need it.
These will definitely be added to my holiday cookie plates this year.
YUM.
