Preparation

Step 1

Cookies
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and 1 cup sugar. Blend in eggs. In a medium bowl, sift together flour and baking soda; gradually beat into butter mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup lemonade concentrate. Drop mixture by rounded teaspoons onto the prepared cookie sheet.

3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly brown. Brush lightly with remaining lemonade, and sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Frosting:
Beat together softened butter, powdered sugar, and prepared pink or regular lemonade, until a spreading consistency is reached. If desired, tint with red food coloring.
