Instructions
Lemon Cookies Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium-large bowl mix 3 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- In a large mixing bowl mix 1/4 cup coconut butter (or Vegan butter) with 1 cup organic sugar. Stir until mixed well.
- In the large bowl add these other wet ingredients and mix: zest from 2 lemons, juice from 1 lemon (juice from other lemon is used in frosting), 1 tsp vanilla, and 3/4 cup non dairy milk.
- in a small bowl whisk 1/3 cup aquafaba for about a minute until it's frothy. Then stir it into the large bowl with the other wet ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the large bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir to combine. The dough should not seem very thin or very thick. If it seems too thick, add a little bit more non-dairy milk. If it seems too thin add a little more flour.
- On a baking sheet use a silicone mat, parchment paper, or cooking spray and spoon clumps of the dough onto it. We could fit 9 cookies per sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes. Remove and let them rest on their baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Lemon Frosting Instructions
- Combine juice from 1 lemon with 1 Cup of organic confectioner's sugar. Mix well until a frosting consistency is made. Make a double batch if you want lots of frosting.
- Apply the frosting as you wish with a piping bag (we just cut a small corner off of a ziploc bag), or spread it on with a spatula, knife, or by the spoonful.
