Pink Lemonade Thins


I have always loved the color pink, and dive at the chance to turn my culinary works, that pretty hue. Something about summer screams lemonade. I have always been fond of its pink sister. Maybe the taste is truly no different, but the color seems to make it that much better. When I found these delectable little cookies, I was amazed by the fact they call for no eggs or granulated sugar. They taste so good, with the look to match. They can take you right back to your childhood! Who wouldn't want that? They are very easy to make, and even easier to enjoy!
