Lemon Cooler Cookies Tips

What are some variations of this lemon cooler cookie recipe?

For an extra punch of lemon flavor, whisk in a little powdered lemonade mix with the sugar coating. Not a fan of lemon? Try substituting orange juice or limeade concentrate and zest for the lemon. Also, if you don’t have colored sugar handy, you can toss these cookies in powdered sugar after they're baked.

Can you make this recipe without a cookie press?

Instead of a cookie press, you can use a cookie scoop to shape the dough into balls. Place on cookie sheets and flatten slightly with your fingertips or with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake as directed. Stock your kitchen with our favorite cookie baking equipment (scoop and press included!).

How do you store lemon cooler cookies?

Store lemon cooler cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Place sheets of waxed or parchment paper between layers. They can also be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. Here are even more helpful tips on storing your favorite homemade cookies.
