For those who would love to make these cupcakes, it all starts with a basic pound cake recipe.

Followed by whipping cream cheese, lemon filling and icing sugar together and piping it on top of the cupcakes.

WHITE Cake Mix Cookies Part 2

In my last post, I made Lemon cookies from a lemon cake mix. So I decided to try the same recipe, with a White Cake mix to simulate sugar cookies, and also to see if this recipe would be better when making sugar cookies with a little add and minus here and there. These cookies came out prefect, they were rich and soft. One review I got said, "the cookies are moist, rich and missing a glass of milk". Now, here is a quick and simple recipe for cookies that can be transformed into any flavored or type of cookie. Pecans, chocolate chip, all chocolate, and hazelnuts are just a few ideas, from dozens.

LEMON Cake Mix Cookies

Whenever I bought the Pillsbury Lemon cake mix, there would always be a recipe on the side of it. So this recipe that I tried, is called "Lemon Crisps". However I hate dried out hard cookies, so what I did was take a small spoon and shape the dough into balls, instead of flatting them out like the recipe says, I just left them as balls. Also, after mixing the ingredients together, I let the dough rest for about an hour or two. Because when i did attempt to make them right way, the lemon seemed really strong and it was as if you were eating straight sugar. You could taste the granules.

1 pkg Pillsbury Moist Supreme Lemon cake mix
1/3 cup Oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 to 3 tbsp lemon juice
1. Preheat oven to 375F. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, and eggs; stir with spoon until combined into a moist dough. Shape dough into 1-inich balls and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.
2. Bake at 375F for 5 to 10 mintues or until edges are golden brown. Cool 1 mintue and remove from cookie sheet.
3. Small bowl, combine powdered suger and lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over cookies. You can also dust the cookies with the powder sugar. Enjoy!
