Thanks to Mandy over at Mandy's Ramblings I found out about the 2006 Cookie Swap being managed by Amy Beth.  In addition to her beautiful blog, she's somehow finding time to do this cookie swap!  Here is a recipe for one of my favorite cookies, Sunshine Kisses.  When I bake for the holidays, I like to create a variety of goodies that appeal to all kinds of sweet-teeth (is that a word?).  These cookies are for those who like lemony goodies.  I got it many years ago from a now-discontinued Pampered Chef cookbook.

Check out all the yummy recipes at the Party Page.

Sunshine Kisses 

 
1 package (18-19 oz) lemon cake mix
1 egg slightly beaten
1/3 c. oil
2 T water
1/3 cup pecans, chopped

GLAZE
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 lemon

Preheat oven to 375F.  In medium bowl combine cake mix, egg, oil & water. Stir until thoroughly combined; mixture will be dry.  Chop
nuts & sitr into dough.  Using a small scoop drop dough 2-inches apart onto a cookie sheet or baking stone.  Bake for 13 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 3 minutes on stone.  Remove to cooling rack and cool completely.

In small bowl, whisk powered sugar, 1-2 T lemon juice & 1 t lemon zest. Drizzle glaze on cooled cookies.
