Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 g Unsalted butter
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Powdered pink lemonade drink mix
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 20 g Cornstarch
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 drops Pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered pink lemonade drink mix together until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract and, if desired, add the pink food coloring to intensify the pink hue of the cookies.
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Scoop out small portions of dough (roughly 1 teaspoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly using the bottom of a glass or the back of a spoon to achieve a thin cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the Pink Lemonade Thins as they are, or enjoy them with a cup of tea or lemonade for a citrusy delight.
