Lemon perfection! These are light and fresh tasting cookies. The perfect complement to your afternoon tea or a lovely evening treat. Lemonade Kool-Aid makes the cookie sweet but tart. Make sure you let the cookies completely cool before dipping into the sugar mix. They are fragile and will crumble if still warm.
