Simple Lemon Cooler Cookies

[@raymondford9240]

So glad to have this recipe! I was sorry that Sunshine/Keebler stopped making them. They have always been one of my favorites.

[@lesliejeanswan9718]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! THE ONLY STORE-BOUGHT COOKIES WORTH BUYING! NOW I CAN MAKE MY OWN!

[@bettycrowe797]

do they still have them in stores?

[@annmariehicks1239]

So excited to try these. I miss lemon coolers so much! Memories of summer camping...

[@MelanieCravens]

Yes!

[@Jane_Dow]

When you hear a knock on your door, its just me coming to try a cookie ! lol Lemon is my Favorite ! I'm a soft cookie person, so I'm Really Happy you showed how to make them soft or crispy/crunchy. Thanks !

[@Ren4U2]

I use the zester the same as you! Never even occurred to me to do it the other way….😊. Can’t wait to try these cookies! They’re one of my faves.

[@rhondagates7940]

Hands down, the best cookies I have ever made...and ate! Thank you! ❤

[@irishpixierose]

Can't wait to make these. I could wait for summer so i could have lemon coolers. But they no longer make them. I use the True Lemon unsweetened powder when I roast a lemon pepper chicken or just baking chicken parts.

[@sandraholtzmuller1318]

OMG that is a great recipe…..

[@hapaphoto]

I would like to place an order :) Thank you for sharing!

[@gingeranderson7263]

O my goodness! I cant wait to try these. I have not been able to find a good recipe on these and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE lemon cookies with powered sugar. ❤

[@blkolivi]

I love lemon. I need to try the soft version.

[@dianepace7376]

These look divine - will be trying soon. I use the zester the other way 😀

[@nevalucas1136]

Looks delicious ❣️

[@tp8077]

Loved this recipe. Best lemon cookies ever! Thank you!!!

[@melodyosborne7699]

These look great. I’ll have to give them a try.

[@michellemorningstar880]

Thanks so very much for the receipt going to make these cannot wait

[@gabriellabennett7024]

These look excellent - good job - I would never have thought of using the lemon powder in the icing sugar

[@robinmarks5638]

I am going to try these! I have king Arthur's lemon juice powder in the freezer. I am going to experiment with that.

[@Shawna795]

These were my favorite cookies as a child Oh my thank you. I can’t wait to try this recipe ❤❤❤

[@Patriot1459J]

Oh Yummy Thank You Louise

[@barbaratrubenbach115]

I did this with a salad dressing at a special restaurant, it took me 6 months or more to get it just right. It is fun to try to make something that you really don't have a recipe for. True cook!

[@rosecondi5670]

Omg, I have been trying to make the lemon cooler cookies myself. You're brilliant !!!! So happy I found your video 😊

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I hope you love them!

[@louiselill1528]

They look delicious my mouth is watering

[@Dilcie]

These look amazing 🤩

[@dianehopkins3551]

Omg, I love lemon cookies. What is the scraper you are using, love it but never seen one like that

[@wyldchyld1166]

About zesting, switch hands with the lemon and zester to zest the other way. Instead of moving the lemon, move the zester.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I've tried all kinds of ways and the way I do it is just the way I do it. LOL

[@wyldchyld1166]

@@TheSaltedPepper that’s cool. I didn’t know you had tried other ways. Just trying to be helpful. Love your recipes!

[@BarryPiper]

I was hoping for a version of this that doesn't call for the pre-packaged lemonade mix (or Kool-Aid powder, as the original used), since those mixes are hard to find in my area. We just use lemons or limes to make lemonade here. I'm going to have to try the citric acid, which is easy to find here.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The citric acid will work, just start with a small amount. I go over my suggestions in the written post. The True Lemon in the powdered sugar just gives an extra boost of flavor, but the cookies themselves are delicious and lemony on their own.

[@texas1852]

I’ll take a soft one please! 😋

[@StevenHenderson-m7e]

So how long can you hold them for until they go bad?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

They don't exactly go bad, but they will become stale after a while. If they are stored in an airtight container they lasted more than a week for me.

[@kouklakee]

So doesn’t the crunchier cookie soften after you put the powdered sugar on them and after you store them in a Tupperware?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Nope! I kept this batch in a ziplock freezer bag at room temperature for 2 weeks and they were just as crunchy as when I first made them.

[@kouklakee]

@@TheSaltedPepper WoW so good to know now I can make my decision too ! Thanks 🙏🏼

[@kimstout6419]

​@@TheSaltedPepper You were able to leave these sitting for 2 weeks?! I'm impressed. My daughter and granddaughter are coming over tomorrow. Not planning on having any left when they leave. Our favorite cookies. Thanks so much for this recipe!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

@@kimstout6419 I’m so glad you both love them!

[@mdketzer]

I can’t use my zester the way they claim is right either, and who are they anyway,🥴🤣!

[@lisagill9971]

💐👼🏻💞

[@Ginasno1]

Umm i have never seen anyone zest upside down and I watch a lot of cooking videos lol

[@TheSaltedPepper]

So, which way is upside down to you? I always get comments about the way I zest citrus, but it seems very natural to do it the way I do it. I say, do whatever works for you! LOL

[@Ginasno1]

@TheSaltedPepper the way you do it, is the only way I've ever seen anyone do it. Yes, it's more natural and your zest is going right in the bowl. The other way just seems not only unnatural, but less efficient 😊

[@TheSaltedPepper]

@@Ginasno1 Oh good! So I'm not crazy after all! LOL

[@colleenwolf8014]

Hi Louise! Will be attempting to re-vamp your Lemon Cooler Cookie recipe to GF/LC. Will let you know how it works. I've converted a lot of traditional cookie recipes this way and haven't had a fail yet. For cookies/cakes I generally use either the King Arthur GF flour or Extra White Gold (the latter is definitely my fav for GF baking, but a bit pricey), and nearly always use Monkfruit sweetner in place of sugar. Use much less for equal level of sweetness, and make my own powdered sugar in the Ninja Storm, (similar to the Express Chopper, but a bit bigger and has a handle), with a sugar replacement as well and only sprinkle it on things, rather than coating. (personal preference) Hope all is well with you and Jeff. Being off FB has been AWESOME!
