Lemon Jumbles Recipe

By 356 Comments

When you look at eggs, what do you see? Breakfast or dinner? Savory or sweet? A baked treat or a hearty meal? What an incredibly versatile ingredient they are!

February is American Heart Month, and Eggland’s Best is donating $25 to the American Heart Association for each original recipe created with their eggs (up to $2000), so when they asked me to be a part of it, I happily said yes.

I had four eggs left in my carton and a mind full of sweet dreams…so COOKIES it would be!

The reason I use Eggland’s Best eggs is because they stay fresher longer. † With my six-at-a-time egg-eating son at college now, I don’t go through a carton quite as quickly, so I need them to sit tight and stay fresh longer.

But there are lots of other nutrition-based reasons to choose Eggland’s Best eggs over other eggs:

• 10 times more Vitamin E
• 4 times more Vitamin D††
• More than double the Omega-3
• 25% less saturated fat
• 3 times more Vitamin B12
• 38% more lutein

Now about those cookies… let’s make some Lemon Jumbles! They’re cute, soft, lemony and full of love.

To get started, beat together the sugar and cold butter. Once that starts getting creamy, it’s egg time!

You’ll need two eggs for this recipe so add those in and mix. Next comes the lemon juice and lemon peel and finally the flour mixture; mix well. Dough will be moist and sticky.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and then sift powdered sugar over the tops.  Go heavy with the powdered sugar because it will want to disappear on you. (I can’t believe I forgot to take a photo of that, but I did.)

Bake for 8-10 minutes until set but not brown. It usually only takes me 8 minutes. They will be a very light color so don’t freak out. If they’re set, they’re ready. Don’t let them turn golden!

Once they’ve cooled, sift some more powdered sugar over the tops. It makes them look so pretty!

    I love so many recipes with eggs, but my family loves it when I make scrambled eggs with ham, green peppers, onions and cheddar cheese! They love it when I make breakfast in the morning!

    Mine is beating together eggs with seasoning salt, salt and pepper then pouring the mixture in muffin tin. Then I add crumbled bacon and half a slice of cheese to each one and bake for 20 minutes. Super good.
    Thanks.

    I’m going to have to go with savory and say my favorite at the moment is tuna cakes/patties. The eggs binds the tuna, chopped onion and crushed crackers. Quick and easy. 🙂

    Fritatas are a favorite in my house. My 7 year old has recently taken an interest in cooking. The first thing Ive taught him to make are some egg recipes. Scrambled eggs with chees and fritatas. Ever since teaching him some basics he wants to eat eggs every day! Hide your eggs, hes coming for them!

    My favorite recipe using eggs is Ooey Gooey Butter Coffee Cake, which are soft, caky dessert bars. It’s involved, so I won’t tell the whole recipe here, but it’s basically a layer of mixed up yellow cake mix,1 egg, and stick of butter, spread on the bottom of a rectangular cake pan, topped with a blended box of powdered sugar, package of cream cheese, 2 eggs, and tsp vanilla. Baked for 30 min. at 350 degrees. So good!

    I like to make a egg scramble with sautéed onions, some slivers of ham, sliced mushrooms, some shredded cheese, and some cut asparagus. Yum!

    I love eggs in so many things, but I think my favorite “recipe” featuring eggs would be quiche. I put “recipe” in quotes because I haven’t followed a recipe for quiche in twenty years! I just stir together eggs, cheese, fillings, and flavorings, add a little milk if it looks too thick, put it in a pastry shell, and I’m good to go.

    I actually don’t eat eggs, but my husband would eat breakfast burritos (scrambled eggs, cheese, sausage, and onion) every night for dinner if I would let him!
