How about we {taste this} ... soft lemonade sugar cookies!!!
These cookies are soft and fluffy, rolled in sugar and delightfully citrusy thanks to the frozen lemonade concentrate ... and they are the perfect addition to the citrus baking series I've concocted :) Did you see the lemon cookie white chocolate truffles? Divine!
Okay, now how to make these beauties ...
Soft Lemonade Sugar Cookies
adapted from the Soft Lemonade Cookie recipe in the Taste of Home cookie magazine
Makes about 3 dozen cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed & divided
additional granulated sugar to roll the cookies in
1. Cream butter & sugar.
2. Add eggs one at a time, making sure to incorporate each egg thoroughly
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking soda
4. Add 1/2 of dry mixture and alternate with 1/3 cup lemonade concentrate, mixing well after each addition.
The original recipe had these as drop cookies but mine came out UGLY. So I chilled my dough for 1-2 hours and was able to roll it which I found made the cookies more uniform. So, roll about a tablespoon of dough in your palms into a ball (it will be a little sticky) and then roll it in sugar. Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet / baking stone. These spread out a bit while baking, so give 'em a little room. Bake at 400* for 8-10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.
Sweetly sugared and lightly lemon-y, these are sure to be a hit at your Spring brunch, Easter party or Sunday afternoon ... they make me want to sit out at the street with a lemonade cookie stand ;)
