Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup pink lemonade drink mix (powdered)
- 0.25 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- Additional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather all your ingredients to make the process smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, creating a creamy mixture.
- Beat in the egg along with lemon juice and zest until well combined; the mixture should appear smooth without lumps.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pink lemonade drink mix before gradually folding this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart; flatten each ball slightly for even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden while centers remain soft; let cool on sheets for five minutes before transferring to wire racks.
