Lemonade Drop Cookies

1 C. butter, softened
1 C. granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 3/4 C. sifted flour
3/4 t. soda
1 6-oz. can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1/2 C. chopped pecans (optional)
Additional sugar for topping

Cream butter or margarine and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until mixture is smooth and pale in color.

Sift flour and soda together. Add to butter mixture alternately with 1/2 cup lemonade. Fold in nuts. Drop by tablespoons, about 1 1/2 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake in a preheated 400° F. oven for 12 - 15 minutes, or until edges are brown. Remove to wire cooling racks and lightly brush warm cookies with remaining lemonade concentrate and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
