Now, I love lemonade, but sometimes it upsets my stomach just a little. Could be the acid in it, could also be the extreme tartness since I don't use tons of sugar to tone it down. Whatever the reason, I found a great replacement that helps satisfy my sweet tooth.
The recipe is low in potassium, and it makes a refreshing treat to have on hand when you just have to have a little something.
It's really simple, not too time consuming, and delicious. Great to have on hand, especially when you have hungry kids running through the door after returning from school. Well, I don't have young hungry kids anymore, but you get the picture.
Ingredients:
Cookie dough:
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs (or 1/2 cup low cholesterol egg substitute)
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups, (240 grams) white flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup lemon juice
Icing:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 T water
1/2 tsp lemon extract
Instructions:
Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs, (or egg substitute) and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients and lemon juice. Drop balls of cookie dough onto baking sheets using a small cookie dough scoop. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Slide onto cookie rack to cool.
Icing directions:
In a small bowl beat the powdered sugar, water, and lemon extract until smooth. Spread on cooled cookies.
Makes 36 cookies
Serving size 1 cookie
* Note: You can sub half of the sugar in the cookie dough with Splenda, but will not get the browning effect as if using all regular sugar
So, until next post I hope you will give the recipe a try and drop me a line about how they turned out for you.
Always,
Lee
