Lemonade Cookies
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated or raw sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 large egg, beaten
1/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 and 3/4 cup flour (I used unbleached)
In a large bowl or your electric mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in the baking powder and baking soda. Beat until well combined. Add the egg and the lemonade concentrate. Add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating after each addition. If the cookie dough is sticky put it in the frig for about 30 minutes. Drop the cookies by tablespoon on an ungreased cookie sheet (12 fit perfectly on mine). Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool before frosting.
Frosting for lemonade cookies
2 Tbsp salted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
4-6 tsp of lemonade concentrate (start with 4 then add more if the frosting is too thin, I used 6)
Beat the butter and powdered sugar together. Mix in the lemonade concentrate. If your frosting is too thin add more powdered sugar, too thin more lemonade. Frost the cookies when they are completely cooled. This made about 2 dozen, if you use a teaspoon your cookies will be smaller and it will make more. Enjoy.
