Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins!

These muffins are delicious and are really easy to make. They are great for breakfast or a snack!

Here is what you will need:

Eggs, vegetable oil, lemon cake mix, Sprite, lemon juice, poppy seeds, sour cream and lemon pudding.

Ingredients:

4 eggs beaten

1/2 cup oil

3/4 cup Sprite

lemon cake mix

1 box instant lemon pudding mix

2 tsp. poppy seeds

1 cup sour cream

Beat eggs with whisk.  Mix in all of the other ingredients just until well blended with whisk.  Do not over mix and don't use an electric mixer or they will be dry.  Place cupcake papers in muffin tins.  This will make 12 regular muffins or 24 mini muffins.  Place in preheated 375 degree oven for 12 minutes for the mini muffins and 25 minutes for the regular muffins.

You can serve these plain without a glaze or drizzle them with this glaze and it just takes them to the next level.  These are so yummy!!!

For the glaze, mix together and drizzle over the muffins before serving:

Lemon Glaze:

2 cups confectioner's sugar

3 Tbs. lemon juice (juice of 1/2 of a lemon)

Lemon Crinkle Cookies!!!

As I have said many times before, I love anything lemon, especially sweets and Spring just seems like a great time for sunshine lemon tasting treats!!!    These "Lemon Crinkle Cookies" are so easy to make and they taste wonderful!!!   My husband, could not stop eating them!   Here is what you will need:  

1 (15.5 oz.) pkg lemon cake mix

5 Tbs. butter, melted

2 large eggs

1 Tbs. lemon juice

1 tsp. lemon zest

1 cup confectioners sugar

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl combine the cake mix, butter, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest.  I used the juice and zest from about 1/2 of a fresh lemon.    You can just mix this with a spoon.  Scoop out the dough and roll into a ball about the size of an English walnut.   

Drop each ball into the confectioner's sugar and roll around to coat each one.

Place on ungreased cookie sheets about an inch apart.  Do not press them down.  Bake for 11-13 minutes.  Allow to cool, then remove to a plate.

Be sure to get yourself one before you serve, because they disappear fast!!!
