Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons gluten free baking flour I use Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 baking flour
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • ½ cup vegan butter room temperature
  • ½ cup sugar I used Purecane⁣, plus extra to sprinkle on top of cookies
  • 1 egg or 1 flax egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • Sea salt flakes to top

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer (preferred) or a hand mixer, beat the sugar and butter for about one minute, until creamed together well.
  • Next, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, egg, and vanilla extract, and beat for about another minute.
  • Add the flour and baking powder, and beat again, but do not over mix—you just want the ingredients to be incorporated.
  • Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes, so that the cookies don’t spread too much.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator, form 12-14 balls and place them on the baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with extra sugar on top.
  • Bake 10-11 minutes—they should be very soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
  • Sprinkle extra lemon zest and sea salt flakes on top.
  • Enjoy!
