Super Easy Lemon Cooler Cookies Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Why were lemon coolers discontinued? ›

Are Sunshine Lemon Coolers discontinued? These lemon cookies from the 90's were eventually discontinued when Sunshine Biscuits merged with Keebler in the 1990's.

If the dough is shiny as it bakes (thanks to the butter or other fat in it), that shine will significantly reduce or go away once the cookies are set. As soon as they reach that stage, remove them from the oven. Even if they don't feel firm yet, they'll continue to set and harden as they cool.

Using too much flour will make your cookies too cakey, so try reducing the flour amount by two tablespoons. Avoid using cake flour instead; try a mix of all-purpose flour and bread flour for a more dense and chewy texture. Using too much baking powder.

Girl Scout Cookie sale, 1983. In 1982, four bakers still produced a maximum of seven varieties of cookies—three mandatory (Thin Mint, Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-si-dos, and Shortbread/Trefoils) and four optional. Cookie boxes depicted scenes of Girl Scouts in action.

Several years ago, the Girl Scouts had a cookie called a Lemon Cooler. They were marketed as a low fat cookie from about 2000-2006 when they were discontinued/retired. Even though they were low fat, they were sweet and refreshing.

Brown Sugar

Adding moisture to your cookie dough can help make it softer and chewier, and stay soft for longer. That's why I use much more brown sugar than granulated sugar in this recipe.

Brown sugar, meanwhile, is dense and compacts easily, creating fewer air pockets during creaming—that means that there's less opportunity to entrap gas, creating cookies that rise less and spread more. With less moisture escaping via steam, they also stay moist and chewy.

Too much baking soda will result in a soapy taste with a coarse, open crumb.

If there isn't enough egg, your batter or dough may not be able to hold its structure or could end up overly dry or dense. On the other hand, if there is too much egg, your baked goods could lose their shape due to excess liquid, or have a rubbery (or even overly cakey) texture depending on the recipe.

Flour adds fluff and texture to the cookies. Adding too little flour can cause cookies to be flat, greasy, and crispy. Most recipes assume you'll use all-purpose, but if you want a lighter, crumblier cookie texture, choose one with a lower protein content such as cake-and-pastry flour.

What Girl Scout cookie did they get rid of? ›

Girl Scouts won't sell the Raspberry Rally this cookie season. The Girl Scouts are discontinuing a popular cookie just a year after its debut sparked a frenzy. Raspberry Rally won't be sold this upcoming cookie-sales season, which runs January to April 2024, Girl Scouts of the USA has announced.

These cookies were lemony wedges coated with powdered sugar and were available from 2011 to 2019. The precursor to Savannah Smiles was the Lemon Coolers, a reduced-fat bite-sized cookie that lasted from 2003 to 2006. When Savannah Smiles was discontinued, Lemon-Ups took their place and are still sold today.

However, the Girl Scouts discontinued them after just one year, revealing in a statement to CNN that, "While Raspberry Rally was extremely popular last year, we are taking a pause this season to prioritize supplying our classic varieties." It's also possible the cookies were removed because people were selling them on ...

It's safe to say that some people were disappointed in 2020 to find that Savannah Smiles was no longer on the order form. These lemon shortbread cookies dusted with powdered sugar had a decent run from 2011 to 2019.
