"If life throws you a lemon - make lemonade."
Joan Collins
It is April 16th, the day after tax day. Television and newspapers are full of bad news.... blizzards, tornados, fires, and looming floods. We got a fresh 4 inches of snow on Sunday evening and we anticipate more snow on three out of the next 6 days.
As I look out my window and wonder about the grass waiting under that thick snow cover, I can't help but think about lemons. As far as winters go, this has been a lemon! Too much snow, too much cold, and worry about spring floods.
So, I ask myself.... "Why not take those sunny yellow lemon thoughts, and make something good?"
Well, here it is! A simple lemon cookie that will bring a smile to your face and help you forget about the lemons that life throws your way.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 package lemon cake mix
1/3 cup powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 375º. In a large bowl, blend the cake mix, eggs, oil, lemon extract and zest together well. Roll teaspoon sized balls of dough, and coat them in powdered sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Enjoy!
