Description
A delightful and tangy dessert that combines the flavors of lemonade and sugar cookies in a crumble form.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemonade concentrate until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread the dough evenly in the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cookie crumble to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting it out using the parchment overhang. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a fun twist, add a handful of white chocolate chips or blueberries to the dough before baking.
- Substitute the lemonade concentrate with lime or orange juice for a different citrus flavor.
