Making your own Arnold Palmer Cookies is straightforward. Here’s how to do it:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and instant iced tea mix.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Add Lemonade Concentrate: Fold in the lemonade concentrate, mixing gently until it’s evenly distributed.
- Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake Cookies: Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden and the centers are set.
- Cool on Sheet: Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
- Glaze (Optional): Mix powdered sugar with a little water or lemon juice to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies and sprinkle with lemon zest or iced tea leaves if desired.
