2 sticks butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1-1/4 cups powdered sweetened lemonade mix, divided
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract OR 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Heat oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar and 3/4 cup of the lemonade mix until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and lemon extract (or grated rind). In a separate bowl, stir together flour and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the batter, beating until thoroughly combined. Place the remaining 1/2 cup of lemonade mix in a shallow dish. Form the dough into 1″ balls and roll them in the lemonade mix, then place them 2″ apart on a well-greased cookie sheet. (Do not flatten.) Bake the cookies until the edges just begin to brown, about 10-12 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a rack. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
I will give a try!
