Pink Lemonade Sugar Cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar.
Add eggs, one at a time.
Add 1 cup of the flour and the baking soda to the butter mixture. Mix to combine.
Add half of the lemonade concentrate.
Gradually beat in another cup of flour, the remaining lemonade concentrate, then the last of the flour.
Drop mixture by cookie scoopfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet. (I used my 1 1/2 inch scoop)
Bake 8 to 10 minutes until lightly brown.
Cool. Frost with Pink Lemonade Frosting
Pink Lemonade Frosting
1/4 cup (approx.) frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
3 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons softened butter
Sugar (Or sparkling sugar crystals. I found them in the cookie aisle at the grocery store.)
Combine powdered sugar and butter in a medium bowl. Mix until combined. Add enough lemonade concentrate until spreading consistency is reached. Frost cooled cookies. Then dip frosted cookies in sugar.
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
Let's do this.
Mix the butter and sugar then
add the eggs one at a time.
Add one cup of the flour along
with the baking soda and mix.
Add a little of the lemonade concentrate.
Then another cup of flour.
Then more lemonade.
Then the last cup of flour.
Mix well.
Scoop into 1 1/2 inch balls onto
your prepared baking sheet.
Flatten
the dough balls out with the
palm of your hand that's been wet
with a
little water or sprayed with
cooking spray so the dough doesn't
stick to
your hand.
Here's what you need for
the frosting. Just mix it all
up to spreading consistency.
Frost the cooled cookies with the frosting.
Then flip them over and press into the sugar.
So sparkly!!!
I love the look of these!!
Really yummy!!
