Pink Lemonade Frosting

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons frozen (thawed) pink lemonade concentrate

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix all cookie ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Onto cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls.
  • 3
    Bake 9 to 11 minutes or just until edges begin to brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • 4
    In medium bowl, mix 1/4 cup butter, the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons lemonade concentrate with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add remaining 1 tablespoon concentrate, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed for desired consistency. Frost cookies.

  • If “pinker” color is desired, stir a drop or two of red food color into the dough or frosting…or both!
  • Sprinkle frosted cookies with coarse white or pink sugar.
  • Recipe Variation Pink Lemonade Sandwich Cookies: Make a double batch of cookies and frosting. Thickly frost half of the cookies and then top each with a second cookie. With the frosting in the middle, sandwich cookies are easier to transport.
