For a more intense lemonade flavor, add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the cookie dough. If you don't have pink lemonade concentrate, you can use regular lemonade concentrate and add a drop or two of red food coloring to the dough. For softer cookies, avoid overbaking them. They should be lightly golden around the edges but still slightly soft in the center. The icing can be adjusted to your preference. Add more lemonade concentrate for a thinner icing, or more confectioners' sugar for a thicker icing. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
