Donna's Glazed Lemon Cookies

My sweet friend, Donna, shared this recipe with me. I have eaten these several times, and they are always delicious! Donna is a busy mom, who in very actively involved in church and school activities. There is always a need arising for her to send treats to a function! These cookies are tasty and attractive, and the ingredients are all things most of us keep stocked in our pantry and on our refrigerator shelves, making these cookies a great choice for spur-of-the-moment baking!

Use whisk to break up those tiny clumps in your powdered sugar
before you add liquids

I always whisk my powdered sugar a bit before adding liquids. This helps to break up those tiny little clumps and gives you smoother glaze.

The cookie sheet you baked the cookies on serves as a nice drip pan
for catching excess glaze.

When I got ready to spoon the glaze over the cookies, which were cooling on my rack, I slid the cookie sheet I used to bake them on under the rack to catch the glazed that dripped off the cookies. A piece of foil works well, too, but the cookie sheet is already dirty and is "free" to use!

Donna’s Glazed Lemon Cookies

Cookies:
1 box lemon cake mix
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice plus a few drops more

Glaze:
zest and juice of 1 large lemon
1 1/2 c. confectioner's sugar

Mix cookie ingredients. Roll dough into balls about the size of a large walnut. Place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes for a soft chewy cookie, or a little longer for a crispier cookie.

Grate the zest of a large lemon plus squeeze the juice from the lemon. Mix with confectioner's sugar until a glaze is established. Spread glaze on top of the cooled cookies. This makes 2 dozen large cookies.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though!
