Lemonade Cookies are made with frozen lemonade concentrate for a strong and refreshing lemon flavor! My favorite part is that there are only 6 ingredients in these cookies – they are so simple!
I saw this recipe a couple of years ago and saved it to try because it seemed so interesting to put lemonade concentrate into the batter! I finally got around to trying these and they taste just like lemonade…in cookie form!
LEMONADE COOKIES
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup (6 oz) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the sugar and baking soda and beat until combined.
- Beat in the eggs and 1/2 cup of the lemonade concentrate.
- Mix the flour in until well combined.
- Drop dough (or use a cookie scoop) on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 7-8 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack 1-2 minutes after taking the cookies out of the oven.
- Brush the hot cookies with a little bit of the remaining lemonade concentrate and then sprinkle with a little bit of sugar. Let cool and enjoy!
Makes about 48 cookies.

Teaming Up With Bosch To Discover New Favorite Cookie Recipes
Bosch Mixers reached out to us here at Butter With A Side Of Bread and asked us to share one of our favorite cookie recipes! If you know me at all, you know that I love peanut butter. So I shared with them my all-time favorites: peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.
“Before I had tried this recipe, I didn’t think I liked peanut butter cookies because all of the other recipes I had tried were a little bit dry and usually too crisp. These cookies are soft and moist and the addition of chocolate chips is just amazing paired with the peanut butter flavor.”
The recipe is simple, the dough is delicious, and the cookies turn out excellent every time I bake them (which is pretty often).
“I make this recipe at least once a month, per the request of my kids, husband or friends and neighbors who all can’t get enough of these cookies!”
Did you know the Bosch Universal Mixer can mix over 30 dozen cookies in a single batch!? If you’re ready to jump in and try a few new cookie recipes, check out the others shared from the awesome baking bloggers below and read the entire interview here!
Kim – The Baking ChocolaTess
“These perfect cookies are buttery, chewy, thick and chocked full of rich, semi-sweet chocolate chips. Perfectly soft on the inside, golden and a little bit crispy just on the outer edge. They are a chocolate chip cookie lover’s dream!”
Becky – Baking The Goods
“Chocolate Chippers are always a fan fave but this Salted Peanut Butter version is a whole other level of comfort and delight. With soft and squishy centers paired with layers of flavor, they’ve got all the right moves.”

“Lemon Butter Cookies also freeze well for three months, if carefully wrapped, but who wants to wait 3 months- just eat them now and make more later!”

Nowhere does it say the temperature to bake these cookies.
Venus says
Bake at 400 in a preheated oven for 8 minutes. Do not over bake.
Bruce says
The recipe calls for beating butter and sugar — then adding the sugar. That, and not including the baking temperature made me wary of attempting this recipe. However, I did….
If you like a cake-y cookie, this is the one for you. I don’t. Mine did not crisp up; plus, brushing the lemonade on the tops after baking made them even more moist. However, without the added lemonade, the cookies were not very lemon-y.
I will not bake these again.
Jessica says
I’m sorry they didn’t turn out how you thought Bruce. Did you perhaps try cooking them a bit longer to make them crispier?
Ridley says
Super good! I made them and they’re my mom’s new favorite. Will definitely be making more! 🙂 Great recipe.
