How to Make Lemon Cooler Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 tablespoon of water until the dough forms a ball.
  5. Roll dough into ¾-inch balls. Flatten slightly onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. While cookies bake, combine 1 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons lemonade powder (to taste) in a large zip-top bag. Shake to mix thoroughly.
  8. Remove cookies from the oven immediately and place them in the zip-top bag with the powdered sugar mixture. Seal the bag and shake gently until cookies are evenly coated.
