Sunshine® Lemon Coolers®

Brothers Jacob and Joseph Loose had a dream of creating products in a bakery filled with sunshine.  In 1912 they got their wish by opening the famous "Thousand Window Bakery" in Long Island City, New York.  It was the largest bakery in the work until 1955.  Today Sunshine Biscuits has moved to another location in Sayerville, New Jersey, where ovens the size of football fields bake like crazy.  Sunshine is now
owned by Keebler and continues to produce many baked treats you're likely familiar with, such as Hydrox Cookies, Saltine Crackers, Vienna Fingers, Cheez-it Crackers, and these sweet Lemon Coolers.  All we have to do is make a few simple adjustments to the Nilla Wafer clone recipe, and we can create a cool copy of these awesome little tangy wafer cookies.
You know the ones - those little round cookies dusted with lemon-flavored powdered sugar.  To make that coating, we'll just use a little unsweeteneed Kool-Aid lemonade drink mix combined with powdered sugar.  Shake the cookies in a bag with this mixture (I call is bake 'n shake) and you've got yourself another tasty knock-off.

Great American Cookies® White Chunk Macadamia

When Arthur Karp shared his grandmother's favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe with Michael Coles, the business partners knew they had a hit on their hands. They opened their first Great American Cookies store in 1977 in The Perimeter Mall in Atlanta, Georgia. Now with more than 350 stores in the chain, these cookies have quickly become a favorite, just begging to be cloned. The chain bakes the cookies in convection ovens at the low temperature of 280 degrees for around 16 to 17 minutes.

But since most of us don't have convection ovens and may have a hard time getting the oven temperature to this odd setting, we have made some adjustments. Just be sure, when you remove the cookies from the oven, that they appear undercooked and only slightly browned around the edges. This will give the cookies the perfect chewy texture when they cool.
