I love lemon bars, lemon poundcake, and lemonade, of course. I never thought of making cookies that taste like lemonade. I can't wait to make them. Seeing the picture made me really crave them, so I'm off to the store to buy lemonade. They look so soft and buttery. YUM!

These cookies really do taste like lemonade. My Mom said they melt in her mouth. They are very soft cookie. The batter is very soft and sticky but baked up perfectly.
