Pink Lemonade Cookies are as simple to make as they are delicious and they make the best summertime treat. If you like lemons, you’re definitely going to love these cookies. They are sweet little burst of sunshine that melt in your mouth and leave you wanting more. Anyone who has ever taken a bite out of a lemon knows how well it wets your mouth. These little gems do the same thing but they won’t make you pucker.

Lemon Flavor: Surprise it’s not from lemons, it’s from pink lemonade Kool-aid. Those tiny little packets pack a whole lot of lemon flavor, which makes them perfect for this recipe. If you want, you could use the regular lemonade packets, they basically taste the same, I just like to use the pink lemonade because it adds a nice color to the cookie dough.

Flour: I don’t normally sift my flour, I usually just give it a couple of good stirs with a whisk to fluff it up. With this recipe I definitely sift the flour, it makes a big difference. I found that when I don’t sift the flour the cookies don’t melt in your mouth as they should and the melting is one of the things that makes these cookies amazing.

Give it a try!
