Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. Beat them together on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in one large egg, along with the lemon juice and freshly grated lemon zest.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pink lemonade drink mix.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to your wet mixture, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced at least 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks and dusting with powdered sugar.
