# What You'll Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 cup powdered sugar
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
06 - 1 teaspoon lemon zest
→ Dry Ingredients
07 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
11 - 1/2 cup pink lemonade drink mix (powdered)
→ Optional Add-Ins
12 - 1/4 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
→ For Dusting
13 - Additional powdered sugar, for dusting
# Steps to Follow:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
03 - Add the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until well combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pink lemonade drink mix.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
06 - If desired, fold in the white chocolate chips.
07 - Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
08 - Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Centers may look slightly underbaked—this is perfect.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10 - Once cooled, dust with additional powdered sugar for a pretty finish.
