Pink Lemonade is our go to summertime drink so I thought I would make these fun crinkle cake cookies inspired by our summertime fave. Ava helped me swirl the colors and the end result was the softest and tastiest lemon flavored cookie EVER!
Give these Swirled Pink Lemonade Cake Cookies a try and you will love this summertime treat too!

My little loves spent a fun afternoon last week enjoying some lemonade and cookies in downtown Leesville. My new friend {and mucho talented photographer}, Deanna from Down the Rhode Photography captured some sweet shots!
These two keep me one my toes- and smiling- every day!
How cute is this easy lemonade stand set up Deanna made?
They were no longer interested in smiling for pics once they spotted the food.
They are so my children!
Ava loves cookies. Just like her Mama!
These fun colorful cookies were the perfect addition to the lemonade stand.
My curly haired cutie!
