Lemon Crinkle Cookies

I was originally going to bake these cookies in celebration of my boyfriend and mine's anniversary this past weekend...but seeing as how difficult it was for me to find one of the ingredients, I made them tonight!

I wanted to make these cookies because I associate lemons with being refreshing and light (in flavor). And even better? It only uses four ingredients!

Recipe (makes ~24 cookies):
1 box               Lemon Cake Mix
1                       Egg, lightly beaten
2 cups              Cool Whip (or Whipped Topping), thawed
1/2-1 cup        Powdered Sugar

Ingredients

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine the Lemon Cake Mix, Cool Whip/Whipped Topping, and Egg in a bowl. You will end up with a very sticky mixture.


3. Form dough into tablespoonfuls and roll thoroughly in the powdered sugar.

4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are golden. Allow to cool for 1 minute, then transfer to wire rack to cool thoroughly.

**Because my tablespoonfuls were quite large, I left the cookies in the oven for a few minutes longer than the said 8-10**

UPDATE: As easy and refreshing as the cookies were, I'm not compelled to make them again. There was just no "Wow!" factor to them...no memorable flavors or textures that would make me want to bake them again.
