OH YUMMY!
I made these cookies on Sunday, I didn't have many ingredients to make other cookies or frosting for a cake. We were invited to a friends house for dinner and asked to bring dessert. I found this recipe and decided to give it the good ole' college try... everyone LOVED them! I modified them a bit because I only had white cake mix but I really think they turned out even better! Course, I might just be biased! ::smile::Original Recipe for Sunshine Kisses (Pampered Chef Busy Mom's Cookbook)
Ingredients: 1 package (18-19 ounces) lemon cake mix
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons water
1/3 cup pecans, chopped; optional
