"I got this recipe from Mr. Food. It's similar to some other Zaar recipes, but with the addition of lemon peel. A summer treat!"

What a great idea...brushing the baked cookies with the lemonade concentrate. Changed this recipe just a bit. Sprinkled the cookies with confections sugar. These have such a bright flavor. A keeper for sure!! Thanks so much for posting.

These cookies were just ok for me. I wanted them to be firmer or crisper or something not so soggy. The flavor was good but just couldn't get past the texture. Sorry. I did enjoy trying them though.

Lovely cookie. Nice change from Oatmeal and chocolate chip. We had an essembly line going. My son painted pink lemonade on each cookie while my daughters sprinkled sugar. Fresh, light and yummy!

I made these along with my traditional Christmas cookie recipes, and they were a hit. They smelled lemony fresh - easy to make and very good.
