Lemon Lavender Cookies
October 10, 2007 at 5:01 pm | In recipe |
zee always adorable Bazu is as sweet as can be!
she sent me a card and dried lavender flowers! I can’t find the stuff over here (she didn’t even know!) and had been dying to experiment with fresh and dried flowers in my baking/cooking endeavors.
thank you Bazu!!
they are buttery and crispy, yum.
for 10 medium cookies
4 T vegan margarine
6 T sugar in the raw
1 t pure lemon extract [you can choose to add 1/2 T of lemon zest instead]
1/2 t pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all purpose flour [scooped, not spooned. leveled.]
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t baking powder
1 t Ener-g egg replacer powder [not the water]
pinch sea salt
1 scant T dried lavender
1 scant T full fat coconut milk [other milk alternatives work too]
preheat oven to 350F. prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper or Silpat.
in a large bowl, beat together the margarine and sugar until creamy.
add extracts, mix some more.
add flour, baking soda, baking powder, egg replacer powder, salt, dried lavender. mix until dough is formed: it will be crumbly. add coconut [or other] milk until dough is formed.
shape your dough into about 1 1/2-2 T balls. flatten a little, as the cookies won’t spread out much while baking.
bake for 14 minutes or until the edges are golden.
let cool for a minute or two on the sheet, place on a cooling rack.
if you want smaller cookies, be sure to change the baking time accordingly.
for a pistachio rosewater cardamom version of these cookies:
instead of lemon extract, use the same quantity of rosewater, add 1/4 cup chopped pistachios as well as a pinch of ground cardamom.

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe you made these cookies so quickly, how inspiring! I want to make these now, I think I have all the ingredients… You are an artiste, indeed.

Lemon and lavender is a classic combination. A local bakery makes vegan lemon lavender muffins and they are wonderful. I’ll have to try making these for sure.

Hi, these look fantastic, I want to make them now! However, I don’t have the egg replacer, could I use a real egg or any other suggestions?

hi Madeline, you can replace the ener-g egg powder with 1 t cornstarch. subbing an egg might throw things off a little because of it being, well, liquid. :)
