Vegan Lemon Cookies
































The kid LOVES lemon so these were a big score. The only difficult part is waiting the 15-30 min until they harden enough to eat! Enjoy!


Yield: 13

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups almond flour (if using almond meal food process to make into flour-like consistency)
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup or agave
  • 1-2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp organic lemon zest (about 1 lemon)

Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine almond meal, baking soda and salt in a food processor, and process until fine.
  3. Add coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon juice and lemon zest, and process until a dough ball forms.
  4. Scoop out about 1-2 Tbsp of dough, roll into a ball and place on baking tray.
  5. Gently press down.
  6. Bake for 6-8 minutes (mine took about 7), until just golden brown (after you remove them from the oven they will continue get darker).
  7. Let cool for 15-30 minutes (or they will fall apart).
