Made 13 dozen of these for a Christmas cookie party!!! Soooooo goooood!!! And easy to make a buttload of. Thanks for including this recipe in VFG!
These are unbelievably good!
Do you have to use the kool-aid in the coating? I'm wondering if the powdered sugar is enough.
No, you can leave it out...and it doesn't have to be kool-aid, any unsweetened lemon flavored drink powder will work, even a pinch of citric acid will do the trick.
Glad you liked 'em!
