Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these scrumptious cookies:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons lemonade concentrate
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Mixing up these cookies is almost as fun as eating them. Follow these simple steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Just picture your future cookies sitting pretty on it!
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This is your dry team, keeping things steady without breaking a sweat!
- In another large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until creamy and fluffy. You want it to be as smooth as a stand-up comedy routine!
- Add the egg, lemonade concentrate, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the buttery mix. Beat until everything is blended in perfectly.
- Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. No need to overwork it, we’re not training for a marathon!
- Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart since they will spread a bit during baking—like friends fighting for the last piece of pizza!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Trust your nose; if it smells amazing, you’re on the right track!
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, gather your friends, family, or just a comfy couch, and enjoy these marvelous Chewy Lemonade Sugar Cookies. They’re perfect for sharing… or not! We won’t judge!
