My husband has been getting after me lately because every time I come across a dessert that I really want to make, it contains lemon..."what's with all the lemon!" I just can't help myself, it's just a bright tangy flavor that never seems to get old.
The very name of these cookies was appealing to me, and they are about at close to a refreshing glass of lemonade as you are going to get. They also really hold up to the name SOFT lemonade cookies. I don't know that I've ever eaten a cookie that was so soft, tender and delightfully chewy. Perfect for a spring picnic!
Soft Lemonade Cookies
Found in Taste of Home Baking Book
Ingredients
1 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 can (6 oz) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed and divided
Additional sugar
Directions
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with 1/3 cup of lemonade concentrate, beating well after each addition.
2. Drop by rounded teaspoonful 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes. Remove to wire racks. Brush warm cookies with remaining lemonade concentrate; sprinkle with sugar, cool.

Lemonade is my husband's favorite drink! He'd love these. What a great idea.
I love lemon too! I just recent tasted and baked with Meyer lemons. Have you tried them they're good though less tart, more along the lines of oranges.
