Lemon Crisp Cookies

Lemon cake mix is the base for these quick, tasty cookies with Rice Krispies providing the crunch.

1 (18.25 ounce) box lemon cake mix
1 cup crisp Rice Krispies cereal
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl combine the cake mix, Rice Krispies and grated lemon peel. Add the butter and egg and mix well. The dough will be crumbly.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set. Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to remove cookies from cookie sheets and place on wire racks to cool completely.

Yield: 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
