How to make Strawberry Lemonade Cookies.

Because this strawberry lemonade sugar cookies recipe doesn't require fresh strawberries, they are easy peasy and gets ready in a breeze.

With this recipe all you need is a 3 oz packet of strawberry flavored gelatin and some Lemon extract.

Using the Zest is optional. Some times I use the lemon zest and other I don't. But it's totally up to you.

Important steps to take before baking.

Wash Your hands:

It's very important to start any kitchen task with Clean hands.

Wash your utensils:

Washing your utensils is an important step when making cookies. Make sure the mixer bowl, spatula and measuring cups are clean.

Make sure your surfaces are clean:

This is very important especially if you are making cut out cookies. Your surfaces need to be clean. Remember a lot happens on your kitchen counter- cutting meats, veggies etc. spraying the surface with food safe disinfectant and wiping it down before placing your cookie dough on the counter is very important.

Now that you've followed these important steps, let's get in with our strawberry lemonade cookies.

  • Start by creaming the butter, sugar and strawberry flavored gelatin.
  • Throw in a few drops of pink food to bump up the color if you like. ( see picture below for the difference in appearance with or without the pink food color.)
  • Then add some lemon extract and zest. Mix in your flour. Shape into a log, chill, Slice, bake and ENJOY!

    Would this dough work to be rolled out and cut with a cookie cutter?

      Hi Abby,

      It would. Remember to dust your work surface with flour or roll between 2 parchment paper sheets to make it easier.

      Hi Laurie,

      Thank you for bringing it to my notice. I’ll fix that ASAP! I use 1/2 Tablespoon of lemon zest. Which is zest from a small lemon of 1/2 of a large lemon. Enjoy!

      Hi Traci,
      It’s 3/4 pound of butter. Depending on where you are these are the various conversions
      3 sticks of butter or 1 1/2 cup of butter or 340grams. Hope that helps. Thank you for stopping by.
      Stay safe!

    Chichi,
    I was about to make the dough and then noticed that vanilla extract, in addition to the lemon extract, is an ingredient. However, you do not include it in the directions, ie when to add it, etc. Please advise; I’m waiting for your response before I make the strawberry lemon cookies……
