Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup pink lemonade drink mix (powdered)
  • 0.25 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • to taste cup additional powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Add wet ingredients: Beat in the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pink lemonade drink mix.
  5. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. If desired, fold in white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
  6. Form cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked – that’s okay! They’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet after removal.
  8. Cool and dust: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with additional powdered sugar for a pretty finish.

Notes

  • The centers of the cookies may look slightly underbaked after baking; they will continue to cook on the baking sheet as they cool.
