2011 Cookie Challenge: Soft Lemonade Cookies


Spring time in the rockies can be quite a roller coaster.  It was only a few weeks that it was 80 degrees and sunny!  This morning it was snowing and gloomy. I have been loving the rain we have been getting recently, as it is much needed - it's been a really dry winter. I'm hoping my lawn can get ahead start before it gets hot and I have to water regularly. So to brighten the day I made lemonade cookies - in remembering that soon enough it'll be warm and sunny and able to enjoy the outdoors!


Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup thawed lemonade concentrate, divided
  • Additional sugar

Directions

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with 1/3 cup lemonade concentrate, beating well after each addition.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 8 minutes. Remove to wire racks. Brush with remaining lemonade concentrate; sprinkle with sugar. Cool. Yield: 6 dozen.
