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

Memaw's original recipe Lemon Coolers are a real southern treat. These cookies are sweet and zesty, dusted with the right amount of sweetness.

Beat together sugar, butter, and lemon zest in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Whisk together eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla in a small bowl until combined. Beat into butter mixture slowly on low speed. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Lemon extract is a lemon-flavored liquid made by letting the lemon peels soak in alcohol. Yup, that's it. There is nothing much to it, just some organic lemons, good quality vodka, and some time.

It debuted in the United States in 1908, and was manufactured by Sunshine Biscuits for over 90 years. Hydrox was largely discontinued in 1999, three years after Sunshine was acquired by Keebler, which was later acquired by Kellogg's which in turn sold the cookie line and the rights to the Keebler name to Ferrero SpA.

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.

Lemon Chalet Cremes

7. Lemon-Ups. I thought Lemon-Ups and Lemonades would taste the same, but they don't at all. Lemon-Ups taste fruitier than the Lemonades and smell like fresh-squeezed lemons.

What is a substitute for lemon juice in cookies? ›

Apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, and rice vinegar can all be substituted at a ½:1 ratio. If your recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, then, sub 1 tablespoon vinegar and replace the rest with water if needed. Usually you won't need to add any extra liquid but it depends on the recipe.

Lemon oil is not lemon-infused oil, but rather highly aromatic oil that is pressed from lemon rinds; as such, it is used in recipes to replace lemon zest (and not juice). Lemon oil is much more potent than lemon extract, which is lemon oil diluted in alcohol.

Rub lemon zest into sugar

Sugar granules act as an abrasive to release the zest's essential oils, so this is a great trick for heightening lemon flavor in your desserts. Use a Microplane or zester to grate the zest directly into a bowl with your sugar.

Some studies show that citric acid may help prevent the formation of kidney stones. The vitamin C in lemons helps to form collagen, a protein that supports your skin. The vitamin C, folic acid, vitamin B, and minerals in lemon may help to improve your acne, oily skin, blackheads, and dandruff.

Sunshine food and snack products are now owned by Kellogg's, but the Sunshine brand is present on some of the company's most beloved crackers. Cheez-It snack crackers, Krispy saltines, and wheat wafers still bear the yellow Sunshine logo.

The Keebler Company purchased Sunshine Biscuits in 1996. In 2000, the Keebler Company acquired a license to produce snacks based on the popular children's show Sesame Street. In March 2001, The Keebler Company was acquired by the Kellogg Company. At that time, headquarters were located in Elmhurst, Illinois.

Sunshine Biscuits, formerly known as The Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company, was an independent American baker of cookies, crackers, and cereals. The company, which became a brand on a few products such as Cheez-It, was purchased by Keebler Company in 1996, which was purchased by Kellogg Company in 2001.

Ultimately, Lemon Ups (2020 to present) and Lemonades (made by ABC Bakers) replaced Savannah Smiles and Lemon Coolers.
