Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/3 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
• 3 drops red food coloring
• 1 3/4 cups flour

Directions

1. eheat the oven to 350. Don’t grease the cookie sheets.

2. Put the softened butter in a mixer with the butter. Beat for several minutes on medium speed until the butter is light and fluffy. Stop it every once in a while and scrape down the bowl.

3. While beating the butter and sugar, add the baking powder and the baking soda. Beat until they are combined.

4. Put the egg in a bowl and whip it a bit with a fork and add that to the mix. Add the pink lemonade and keep mixing and scraping.

5. (Now you are going to think something is wrong. It is going to look like the lemonade curdled something. It didn’t. Keep on going, you’ll be fine.)

6. Add the food coloring. Nice and pink, now.

7. Add the flour a half cup or so at a time. Beat after each addition. (The dough is a bit sticky.)

8. Use a teaspoon to drop the cookies onto the cookie sheets. Drop the cookies about 2 inches apart on the ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

9. Let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for two minutes and then move them to a cooling rack. When they are completely cooled, frost with Pink Lemonade Frosting if desired.
