Description
A sweet and zesty dessert that combines the classic taste of sugar cookies with the tangy brightness of lemonade, resulting in a buttery crumble that’s perfect for summer or any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 package sugar cookie mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish with non-stick spray or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar cookie mix, melted butter, and eggs until a dough forms.
- Press about two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of the prepared dish to form a crust.
- In another bowl, mix lemon zest, lemon juice, and granulated sugar to create the lemonade filling. Add flour if the mixture is too runny.
- Pour the lemonade filling over the cookie crust and crumble the remaining dough on top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and set.
- Let cool completely. Optionally, drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze.
- Slice and serve once fully cooled.
Notes
- Add white chocolate chips to the base for extra richness.
- Include fresh raspberries or blueberries for a fruity twist.
- Use Meyer lemons for a more aromatic and tangy flavor.
- Substitute half the butter with cream cheese for a softer crumble texture.
