Beat in the flour and cornstarch on high until a crumbly dough forms. Pour in lemon juice and beat on low until a firm dough forms.
Using a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop, scoop out dough, split in half, and roll into balls.
Place each cookie on baking sheet, about 1 inch apart, and flatten slightly.
Chill in refrigerator for 30-60 minutes until firm.
Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare baking sheets.

Whisk powdered sugar and lemonade powder together.
