Cookies

Beat in cake mix on low speed until blended.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on parchment lined cookie sheets.
-
Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Cool completely, about 20 minutes before glazing.
Glaze
-
Mix all ingredients except lemon juice together in a bowl.
-
Stir until smooth.
-
Mix in 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice to thin a bit more and add a subtle lemon flavor to the glaze.
-
The glaze should be thick, but soft enough to settle when you drizzle it on.
-
Using a butter knife, drizzle the glaze over each cookie sweeping in a back and forth motion. Place rosemary leaves on glaze while wet.
-
Let set for about 20-30 minutes.
Feel free to skip the glaze...they are just as tasty!
