Lemon Zest Sugar Cookies

Well. I can't remember which of the crafty blogs I follow that I got this recipe off of...but they are super yummy! And easy!

YOU WILL NEED:

One box of white cake mix
2/3 C. butter softened
1 Egg
1/2 t. vanilla
3 limes (small)
1/4 C. sugar

Step 1: Add cake mix, egg, butter and vanilla to med. mixing bowl. Next grate in the green from 2 of the limes. Last, squeeze the juice from one of the limes into the bowl and mix everything together!

Step 2: Prepare the sugar. In a small shallow bowl mix together the sugar and lime gratings.

Step 3: Take little chunks of the really sticky dough and roll in the sugar mixture covering well. It's seriously REALLY STICKY DOUGH! Place on greased baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes. Depends on your oven. Mine were in for almost 20. Just make sure the edges are just turning brown. Remove and let cool on cooling racks.



All I can say is that I'm really looking forward to the cool weather so I can wear warmer (bulkier) clothes that will hide the cookies I just ate...
