About


Does anyone remember as kids having Lemon Cooler Cookies? I recall they came in a green box with a plate of the cookies on the front; they were covered in fluffy powder sugar and had an intense lemon flavor. I loved them and begged my mom every time we went to the store if she would get me another box. I have not had them in what seems like forever, I have not been able to find them at any of the stores where I shop, I was so thrilled when I found a recipe on the Internet for them. I made these lovely lemony cookies Sunday and everyone at home loved them and everyone at my work wanted more. My husband took some to three friends at one of his customer’s offices, and they all loved them too. I would strongly recommend a travel back to your child hood and enjoy some of these very flavorful lemon cookies. Plus, with all of the different flavors of Kool-Aid these days why stop at just lemon, I bet these would taste great in strawberry, orange and any flavor your family likes.
