Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Country Time Lemonade drink mix (unsweetened)
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Country Time Lemonade drink mix, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure soft cookies.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a sweet, decorative touch.
Serve and enjoy your Country Time Lemonade Cookies with a tall glass of milk or a refreshing iced lemonade!
