Time 1h40m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¾ cup butter
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package unsweetened lemonade flavor drink mix (such as Kool-Aid®)

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. In a larger bowl, beat 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar with butter using an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy and free of lumps. Beat in the lemon extract, then mix in the flour mixture to make a smooth dough. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Mix 1 cup of confectioners' sugar with the lemonade drink mix in a plastic zipper bag. Close the zipper, and shake the bag to blend.
  • Scoop up about 1 1/2 teaspoon of dough per cookie, and roll into balls. Place the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on sheets for 2 minutes.
  • Drop the warm cookies into the bag of lemon sugar, about 5 or 6 at a time, and shake to coat with the mixture. Shake off excess sugar, and allow the cookies to finish cooling on wire racks. When cool, shake them in the lemon sugar one more time.

I'm allergic to lemons, so I can't try these cookies. But they look really good!

I'm not sure about these cookies. They look a bit too sweet for my taste.

These cookies were just okay. The lemon flavor was a bit weak and the texture was a bit dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These cookies were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less lemon zest next time.

These cookies were so easy to make! I used a lemon extract instead of lemon zest and they still turned out great. I'll definitely be making these again.

I had a little trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven, but other than that, they turned out great! The lemon filling was especially good.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, they were very well-made and the lemon flavor was delicious.

I was a bit skeptical about these cookies at first, but I'm so glad I decided to try them! They were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. The lemon flavor was subtle but still noticeable, and the cookies were the perfect texture.

I made these cookies for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved the unique flavor and the gooey lemon filling. I will definitely be making these again.

These lemon star bursting cookies were absolutely delightful! The burst of lemon flavor was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the cookie. They were also incredibly easy to make, and I loved that I could use ingredients that I already had on ha
