Pink Lemonade Cookie Cups
Pink Lemonade Cookie Cups are a sweet and refreshing spring or summer dessert that is sure to please and boy are they easy to make!
Nancy and I decided to take one of our mom’s old 70’s recipes and reinvent it. Pink Lemonade Pie was a spring and summer staple when we were little. We decided to modernize it by turning it into cookie cups. We are so glad we did because this turned out to be the perfect bit of lemony goodness. We know our mom would have loved it.
How to Make the Cookie Cups
Step 1: We made our cookie cups using a half-batch of our Best Sugar Cookie dough. This is the best sugar cookie dough we have ever used, the cookies taste great and they keep their shape. You will find the recipe with detailed instructions on how to make it here. But you have a lot of other options that would taste equally great with this yummy Pink Lemonade filling. You could use refrigerated Sugar Cookie dough, pie crust dough, or even Nilla Wafer pie crust or graham cracker pie crust.
Step 2: We rolled out the sugar cookie dough a little thinner than we would if we were making a traditional sugar cookie. And then we used a 2″ round cookie cutter to cut out our cookie cups.
Step 3: Using a Mini Muffin Pan, we pressed the sugar cookie dough circles into the muffin openings and molded them into a cup-like shape.
Step 4: We baked the cookie cups in an oven preheated to 375 degrees oven for 6 minutes.
How to Make the Pink Lemonade Filling
Step 5: You will only need three ingredients for the Pink Lemonade filling – Sweetened Condensed Milk, Pink Lemonade Frozen Concentrate and Cool Whip. The Frozen Concentrate needs to be completely melted so leave yourself enough time to set it out on the counter so it can defrost. Add the can of Sweetened Condensed Milk and the melted Pink Lemonade concentrate to a medium bowl. Mix the pink lemonade and the condensed milk together. Finally, add the cool whip to the bowl. Mix together. Depending on what type of Pink Lemonade you buy you might find that you want your mixture to be a little “pinker”. We added a tiny drop of Pink Food Coloring to punch up the color.
Step 6: Spoon the Pink Lemonade filling into the cooled cookie cups.
Step 7: Add some pretty sprinkles if you would like. Taa … daa! This Pink Lemonade Cookie Cup recipe could not be any easier to make. So pretty! So delicious. Store them in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them.
