Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
  • cup vegan butter (or regular butter), measured solid
  • cup cane sugar
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1.5 lemons)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ lemon zest, plus more for topping
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
  • dash of #RELAXATION

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Melt the butter and separate the eggs from the yolks.
  • In a large bowl combine the butter, lemon juice, milk, and egg yolks. Whisk gently. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir until just mixed.
  • Use a one to one quarter inch trigger ice cream scoop to portion the cookie batter onto a parchment lined baking tray. Leave 2 inches of space because they expand.
  • Sprinkle some lemon zest on top. (optional)
  • Bake in the oven for 16 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool on the tray. Transfer to a cooling wire rack to set.

Notes

  • The cookies come out thin and very delicate. Don’t skip letting them cool.
  • When you mix the batter, the baking soda will activate and the batter will become fluffy. That’s normal and what makes these cookies thin and not fluffy.
