Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies (easy style!)

 

Sometimes, a girl just needs a cookie. And on Mother's Day, I had a real craving for something sweet.

I wanted to make cookies, but I had exactly one egg and no vanilla extract.

Hmmm. What to do?

I rummaged around in the pantry and found a Pillsbury Lemon Poppy Seed bread mix. I decided to try to turn this one into a cookie. And guess what? It turned out great!

Here's the recipe:

One Pillsbury Lemon Poppy Seed Bread mix

One Egg

Two-thirds cup melted butter

Powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine mix, butter and egg until well blended. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes. Roll dough into one inch balls (about one Tablespoon). Place on ungreased cookie sheet and slightly press down to shape. Bake for 12-13 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for two minutes, then transfer to a rack. Once cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy!

This would also be a good cookie with a powdered sugar glaze (easy to make, mix a few tablespoons powdered sugar with lemon juice or milk until creamy, then drizzle).

I like lemony dishes in the springtime. This cookie has just enough sweet and tart, perfect with an afternoon cup of coffee.

Blessings, café friends!
