What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?

When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

OTHER ORGANIZATION PROJECTS
If you are interested in taking a deeper look into some of the spaces in my home, check out the following posts!
Would be nicer if you mentioned the powdered sugar in original ingredient list or at least in instructions. Was only mentioned in a “by the way” manner after the glaze instryctions, which were also not counted in the “only three ingredient” claim.
That’s why we READ ALL OF IT to make sure we have a proper understanding. My gawd, it’s not the author’s fault you’re so dull, cut your attitude!
Good grief-what a tactless, ignorant comment.
Everyone knows a recipe is to be read through to the end. It’s called getting the big picture. Not exactly an independant thinker…
A little snarky are we?
any idea how to store these and how long they might keep? I would love to start making cookies but never know how to keep them. Thanks to anyone who can enlighten me.
I found that I you keep them in a Ziploc bag and put a piece of bread in the bag the cookies stay fresh longer. The bread gets stale.
I made these one Christmas eve and just put them in a covered container on the counter by themselves. they stayed good for quite a few days. also left one sit out open on the counter all night and it was still soft the next day. very good cookies
I made these today and they taste great. Very easy to make. The only problem I had is that mine did not flatten out like in the pictures. Mine are more dome shaped. The cake mix I used was Duncan Hines extra moist lemon cake mix. Could the extra moist be the reason?
I flattened mine out with a back of a spoon once I pulled them out of the oven. Worked great.
Great tip. Thanks.
They look yummy and I can’t wait to try them!
I make these just a bit different, 1 cake mix, 1 egg, 1 8 oz carton cool whip (thawed) and the powered sugar. drop spoonful (sticky) in powered sugar and bake! YUM
These sound delicious! Thanks for the recipe! Could the lemon cake mix be substituted with any flavor cake mix? I feel like chocolate would be amazing! (But really, when is chocolate not amazing?!)
Any cake mix could be substituted. Chocolate does sound amazing!
I’ve been baking cake mix cookies for over 30 years. But I use 1/2 cup oil and cheap cake mix NOT extra moist and such. I also use yellow and chocolate mix and mix in about 1/2 cup of one of the following chocolate chips, Reece pieces, M & M’s, nuts. Whatever you want.
Sounds delicious!
Can you use a yellow cake mix instead of lemon cake mix?
How many cookies does one recipe make?
Hi there! I just finished mixing the dough for these cookies and it is super sticky. So sticky that there is no way I’ll be able to roll it into balls. I’ve read and re-read the recipe and I have the right ingredients/measurements :-/. Any ideas on what I did wrong or how to fix the dough?
Cecy, if you roll them in powdered sugar, it can kind of form a ball in that process! I used a cookie scoop to drop a “blob” in the powdered sugar (can also use two spoons though) and then rolled them around until they were coated and pretty round. Hope that helps!
Thank you!! I’m going to try that!
You will have to let me know if you like them.
Great tip. Thanks
I’ve been making these for a long time. Put the dough in the fridge overnight, it will get rid of the stickiness.
Hi – these sound delicious…how many cookies does this make?
2 dozen
In the glaze instructions, it says, “Add lemon juice and water to a bowl and mix together. Slowly add water to mixture while stirring. When you get a nice consistency for a think glaze stop adding water. If you add too much water, simply add a little more confectioner’s sugar.”
Did you mean add lemon juice and confectioners sugar together, then slowly add water? Or add the lemon juice and water and then slowly add the confectioners sugar?
Also, chopping up lemon drops and adding them to the dough would be awesome! Or white chocolate chips. or if you could find lemon chips.
Hi. I made these – delicious. Mine came out rounded – not flat. Second batch I tried this and it made a difference – when the cookies come out of the oven drop the pan a few times to get the air out of the cookies – they flatten out nicely.
Just made them. Is nine minutes enough? Mine still look gooey inside. Maybe they need to cool more. Suggestions?
You may have to adjust the time with altitude change.
How’d you get them to roll? My dough is too sticky.
Can you substitute veg oil for coconut oil? Will still taste the same?
You can but it does have a different taste.
Made these tonight with my 5yr old. They turned out Great! We used Duncan Hines super moist mix. We also used Coconut Oil (just melted it in a glass bowel as to make sure we had exact amount needed). We followed a previous suggestion of banging the pan on counter after taking cookies out of oven to help flatten them a bit.
I love coconut oil. I will have to try that in my recipes next time I make these. Thanks.
Add a handful 1/3 to 1/2 cup of shredded coconut to the batter. So good. Almost like a chewy macaroon! My ‘go to’ recipe for ever.
I will have to try coconut. Sounds amazing!
Tried these out the other day — they were a hit! I’m not sold on the texture, but LOVE the flavor and simplicity of this recipe! I used the general idea with butter pecan cake mix, pecans, and cinnamon chips, too — created an interesting cookie I’d be willing to try again!
They look delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Hey there! Some of you mentioned how sticky this batter is. I didn’t have time to put mine in the refrigerator overnight, so I sprayed some unflavored cooking spray on my hands and rubbed it in a bit. I was able to roll the cookies just fine, and the oil didn’t seem to affect the cookies at all. Just make sure to get your fingertips with the spray as well. Washes off easily with dish soap.
Tasha, Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
I did the same thing. Worked great.
Excellent recipe and so easy. I used Dunkin Hines Lemon Cake mix; perfect lemony taste. I did have to cook for 12 minutes, but everyone’s oven is different.
Emailed you. Thanks.
I make these…they are delicious!
The lemon glaze instructions in the step by step don’t mention the powdered sugar, so do you mix the powdered sugar and juice and then gradually add water?
Yes! Let me fix that so it is more clear! Thanks for pointing that out!
The recipe calls for 2.25 eggs. How do you get a quarter of an egg?
Jody- It is suppose to be 2 eggs…lol.
Simple, easy, and delicious!
Becca- Thank you!
Mmmm!!! Lemon is such a refreshing flavor, especially during summer! These look incredible!
Kristyn- It really is! I LOVE LEMON!
Love how easy these are to make and who doesn’t love lemon?!
Heather- They are so easy to make!
These were so simple to make and turned out delicious! I needed a quick, easy, (and cheap) recipe for a last minute church meeting and these do not disappoint… I read earlier comments and decided to refrigerate for about an hour before rolling and topping with the powdered sugar. I also gave each of them a gentle tap as they came out of the oven to give them that nice, flat cookie appearance. I will definitely be making these again – often! Wish I could upload a pic of these beauties…
Jennifer- I am so happy that you loved this recipe! Thanks for your comments and rating!
I can hardly wait to make these babies. Yummy! Thank you for sharing.
Ivory- They really are SO simple to make!
Lemon crinkles, yes please!! They are so soft & refreshing. My kids will devour them!
Natalie- They really are so refreshing!
I love these equally with the chocolate version. There is something about the lemon flavor that has become a new favorite of mine!
Kristyn- Me too. You can go wrong with either flavor!
These cookies are so bright and carry just enough punch of lemon! We love them.
Katie- They are such a fun Spring and Summer Cookie!
