Recipe: Vegan Lemon Cookies

If your lemon tree is full of fruit at this time of year, we have a delicious recipe for you to try!

Set your oven to approximately 180 degrees C. 

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup of Nuttelex butter

- 1 cup of caster sugar

- Orgran Egg Replacer - the equivalent of 1 egg

- 2 cups of plain flour

- 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda

- 3-4 tablespoons of lemon juice

- 2 tablespoons of lemon zest

Method:

- Cream the Nuttlex and caster sugar together in a bowl.

 - Add the Orgran Egg Replacer. Mix well.

- Add the flour and baking soda. Stir the batter.

- Add the lemon juice and zest. Mix together well.

- Line a tray with baking paper and drop tablespoons of the mix onto the tray. Leave space between the cookies as the mix will spread when cooking.

- Sprinkle sugar onto the top of the cookies before baking to give them a sweet crunch.

- Cook for approximately 15 minutes. A longer cooking time will give a crunchier cookie. Remove sooner if you prefer a softer cookie.

- These cookies can also be iced with a mix of icing sugar and lemon juice if preferred.
