With the kids heading back to school, every lunch box needs a good cookie. Am I right? And you cant send your kids to school without a great lunch. These Blueberry Lemon Muffin Mix Cookies are the perfect lunch box treat.

I love taking just about any shortcut I can when it comes to cooking and baking and these Blueberry Lemon Muffin Mix Cookies are no exception. I was so excited to be able to make these delicious cookies that starting with a store bought muffin mix. Just add a few other ingredients these cookies can be mixed up in a jiffy. Plus you can find those little boxes of muffin mix at your local grocery store. I also think that the addition of pudding mix makes these cookies so soft and chewy. With the flavors of lemon and blueberries (true summer flavors) these cookies will have your kids remembering all the fun they had this summer.

I love a soft chewy cookie and these cookies bake up soft and chewy and stay that way. The tiny blueberry bits are chewy too! The candy drizzle on top makes them so pretty and adds a bit of a sweetness to the cookies. They are so pretty even without the drizzle.

I can’t believe how quickly the summer has flown by the kids here in Arizona start school in just a couple of weeks. With most kids are heading back to school, how fun would it be to make these with your kiddos before they start back up. Just imagine when they take them to school they can tell all their friends they made them. Its always fun to get in the kitchen with your kiddos.
