    Tangy Lemon Cream Cheese & White Chocolate Chip {Cake Mix} Cookies

    Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies are tangy lemon cream cheese cookies sprinkled with mini white chocolate chips. Put some sunshine in your life with these soft, delicious cookies made easily with a lemon cake mix!

    Spring is on the onset and I'm craving some much needed sunshine!!!  As I've mentioned a few times, I loathe...loathe winter and Indiana has some wicked, fierce cold weather. I get those crabby, winter blues, sort of like I'm living groundhog day in a rotation pattern with no end to the gloomy skies of gray, etc. 

    Doesn't sound like a pretty picture does it?  But alas...it comes!  Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy, right?  Happily, it was 70 lovely degrees for mid-March today.  Perfect for these Lemon Cream Cheese Cookies to make an appearance and shine!   

    Tangy Lemon Cream Cheese & White Chocolate

    I think Spring has finally arrived, at least that's what I'm going with.  I heard it's supposed to be 40 degrees tomorrow, so let's just pretend we did not hear that ugly, ugly, horrible rumor and concentrate on baking and eating these cookies!
