Soft Lemonade Cookies
These cookies were my favorite thing from Kevin's change of command reception. They were delicious. When I tried the first batch, I thought they'd be fabulous with lemoncello icing. I need to dig that recipe up and give it a try.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 can (6 ozs) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed and divided
Additional sugar
Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
1. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3, Combine flour and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with 1/3 c of lemonade concentrate, beating well after each addition.
4. Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 in apart onto parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
5. Remove to wire racks. Brush warm cookies with remaining lemonade concentrate; sprinkle with sugar and let cool.

Slow Cooking Dinner: Lemon Pepper Ribs
Kevin has been bugging me for a while to make Ribs- which is problematic because I emphatically do not like commercial BBQ sauce. He likes his ribs SMOTHERED in BBQ sauce.
I might have found a compromise. Country Style bone in beef ribs were on sale today at the commissary for 1.29/lb so I picked up two packs of about 4 lbs each. This is my first Rib experiment. It isn't ready yet, but the house sure smells good.
Lemon Pepper Ribs
Ingredients:
4 lbs beef or pork ribs
2 tbsp garlic powder
2 tbsp kosher salt
2 tbsp black pepper
juice of lemons
Method:
1. Cut the ribs to fit your stoneware.
2. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, salt and pepper. Rub the ribs with the dry mixture, covering all sides.
3. Put the ribs into the slow cooker. If you have extra seasoning, sprinkle it on top.
4. Juice lemons onto the ribs.
5. Cover and Cook on low for 7 to 10 hours, or on high for about 5 hours.
