lemon crumble cookies



I love these cookies. 

They're kind of a cross between a cookie and a danish. I shared them here for the first time.

The buttery, tender crust is the perfect base for the lemon crumble topping . . . and the lemon glaze adds just the right extra sweetness. And the best part, they take about 15 minutes from start to finish, including baking time, to make!

I think they're the perfect treat for warm Summer day with a tall glass of blackberry or blueberry mint lemonade!




Crumble Cookie
ingredients
1/4 cup COLD butter  
1/4 cup sugar  
1/4 cup brown sugar   
1/4 cup Lemon Supreme Cake Mix dry 
1/2 cup flour  
1 tube Pillsbury Crescent Rolls 
(I recommend only using Pillsbury. I've tried other brands, and it doesn't bake up the same.)

Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, cut cold butter into sugars, cake mix, and flour to form crumbs.
On an un-greased cookie sheet, roll out crescent roll dough into one large sheet.
Sprinkle crumbs on top.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and drizzle lemon glaze on top.
After they’re cooked and cooled, cut them into desired size and shape!




Lemon GLAZE
.     .     .     .     .     .
1 Tablespoon butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar, more or less depending on desired consistency
1 Tablespoon milk, more or less depending on desired consistency
2 Tablespoon Lemon Supreme Cake Mix dry
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Zest of 1 small lemon

Whisk ingredients until smooth, and then drizzle over the cookies.






LET'S STAY in touch!
