LEMON CRINKLE CAKE MIX COOKIES!! GIFT IN A JAR!!

The time has come to present our last in the series of Gifts in a Jar Cookie Mixes. Today we share these amazing Lemon Crinkle Cake Mix Cookies! Yes, they start with a cake mix. I chose this method because there are a lot of people on a serious budget due to the current circumstances but they still will want to have a happy holiday season and share and give goodies to friends and family. The cake mix cookie is the answer! These are seriously lemony and decadent with the addition of white chocolate chips. This goes together quickly and will become a favorite of all the lemon lovers on your list!

You have seen me make cake mix cookies in the past and they are very nice and they go together quickly. They also lend themselves to making a great base for cookie mixes to give for any occasion. The possibilities and flavor combinations are endless and you can make them with just about any flavor you like. Today we are making these bright, citrusy lemon crinkles with white chocolate chips. They are super refreshing and the perfect way to brighten anyone's holiday.

As you may imagine we started this off with a lemon cake mix. I love and prefer the Duncan Hines variety. You can use what you prefer or what you have on your pantry shelf. To this I added half a cup of all purpose flour and two teaspoons of crystalized lemon juice, otherwise known as True Lemon. This can be found in the sugar/sweetener section or baking aisle of most grocery stores or it can be found online. If you cannot procure this ingredient you can substitute two teaspoons of a lemonade drink mix such as Countrytime.

These get all mixed together and placed in a quart jar or other container. Tap down several times to compact and settle and then top off with the white chocolate chips. Pop a lid on the jar and decorate to your hearts content. Be sure to add the preparation tags I made that will be included with the recipe download. This will help the recipient to know how to prepare the cookie dough and make these luscious cookies!

These get made with 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and 2 eggs! That's it! scoop and form into balls. Roll into confectioner's sugar that you will provide in a cello bag for giving and the recipient will have everything they need, sans the liquid ingredients to make these delicious, sweet and tangy treats for their holiday cookie tray!

One of the best benefits of making these mixes using a cake mix is the budget friendly factor. Cake mixes usually go on sale for $1 or less during the run up to the holidays and this is a great time to stock up. These can be made quickly with few ingredients and can help you stretch your gift giving dollar especially if you have a lot of people on your holiday list!

We have made lemon cookies today with lemon cake mix. But your imagination and availability of cake mix flavors is your only limitation! Chocolate, double or triple chocolate, apple spice, pumpkin, strawberry, birthday cake, toasted coconut and pina colada are just a few of the many ideas you can run with when it comes to cake mix cookies! Once you give them a try I know you will love them. Doubly certain you will love them as a gift in a jar concept!

I hope you give these lemon crinkle cookies a try sometime soon for gift giving or just for enjoying and I hope you love them!

Happy Eating!
