It’s football season and I live in Pats nation. I was invited to a friend’s football party on Saturday and, as always, I asked to bring a dessert. I had grand plans to make amazing blackberry and goat cheese munchkins (I will update you when I finally step  up my game and make them!).  I woke up late and my energy was… a bit lacking. I quickly grabbed my go-to recipe from Sweet as a Cookie. Lemon Crinkles. Easy, delicious, and people think that you spent your day in the kitchen.

This is definitely a Bob favorite. He claims not to like lemon cookies or desserts and never orders or craves lemon when we are out. BUT  he LOVES these cookies. I hope you do too.
As I learn how to blog, I promise to get better with the pictures! The picture above does not do these cookies justice! And is primarily a result of inexperience and the Saturday morning struggle.

These cookies were a huge success at the party. The only thing I regret is leaving without grabbing a couple for later!

How to make…
Ingredients
1 egg
1/4 cup butter, softened
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon or 1 1/2 lemons (depending on your taste)

1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 325º.

  3. Once combined mix in the lemon cake mix.
  4. Drop 1 1/2 inch balls into powdered sugar and roll around until well coated. The dough will be sticky.
