(16,334 posts)I love them. I still do and the closest I can find is a knock off store brand. And there are some copy cat recipes.
But the lemon coolers also had little chips of lemon in them. I found one recipe that makes the chips using Kool-aid but I have not tried them yet.
The girl scouts sold something like it a few years ago.

(12,904 posts)I have a recipe for something that tastes very similar, and they are super easy. Just make a lemony sugar cookie dough, roll into a log, and chill.
Slice chilled log into 1/4 inch discs, bake, and when out of oven, dust with powdered sugar. They can be lemon or lime
