These cookies are very impressive. Non-vegans swoon as much as the vegans do. Try making them with a dot of pink food coloring to make the most gorgeous cookies. Thank you So much for sharing this gem!

These cookies always blow people away! So good. I like to mix a little fresh lavender in or even rosemary sometimes if I have fresh herbs.

Super impressive! Popular for non-vegans just as much as vegans. Looking forward to trying gf!

Hi. I faced a problem of too runny daugh... Maybe you have any idea why? I tried to keep it a little in a fridge, but cookies are runny while baking. I added a little more flour.

I had a surplus of satsumas (similar to oranges) and I found this recipe and thought I'd give it a try! I was slightly disappointed to watch them flatten the second I pulled them out of the oven. I am at a high elevation (7,500 ft.), so that might have been a factor. Other than that, they're great. I definitely suggest adding zest for a more intense flavor.

I just made these tonight and they turned out fantastic! I did make a few substitutions and tweaks, mainly to ensure a chewy cookie and a pop of lemon flavor! My cookies look just like the pics and taste great. My one complaint is the use of granulated sugar, which to many is not truly vegan. For it to be labeled vegan, I would appreciate a substitute option. I was going to go rogue and try maple syrup, but since the author hadn't suggested it, I didn't want to try it and ruin the whole batch I made. First the sugar: I used about a quarter less than the recipe called for, and used about half Morena cane sugar, half brow, which usually helps keep cookies moist and fluffy. For the lemon flavor, I zest two lemons, used their juice and a little pulp, and added a little lemon juice. For the butter I used Melt. I LOVE this brand for baking (I haven't had any luck at all with coconut oil). I needed to add about a half cup extra flour, with a sprinkle of baking powder as well. I let the batter sit in the freezer while I cleaned and prepped, and I think that helped. I also put the remaining batter in the freezer while each tray was baking. Took them out at 10 minutes and let them sit for a couple on the pan. Viola!! I LOVE chewy cookies, and these do not disappoint.

These were a huge hit at my house! Very light, fresh, and lemony. I followed the directions exactly (including the zest from 2 lemons) and made sure my butter didn’t get too soft, 9:30-10 minutes in the oven and they were perfect. The dough is sticky but not a problem with a cookie scoop. They will definitely be made again.

5 stars for flavor and chewiness, but 3 stars for them spreading out like pancakes. I did bake the last batch after freezing them for about 30 minutes with no change in the spreading. I followed the recipe and directions exactly, might try again with a little more flour.

I found the dough very wet as well, just like many other reviewers. I'm trying 1/2 a batch with solid coconut oil and another 1/2 with vegan margarine. I just stuck it in the fridge - hope it'll be workable in a couple of hours. Wish I had read the reviews 🙁 But hopefully it will still work. Next time I'll add more flour.

These cookies are absolutely delicious. However I also had issues with the dough being too wet to handle.
In the end I had to add an additional 2 cups of flour (with an extra 2tsp baking powder btw) which still gave me a really soft dough. Otherwise the recipe was as given above and it turned out perfectly.

I converted the volume measures for flour butter and sugar to weight (125g flour/250g butter/220g sugar to a cup) and used nuttelex for the vegan butter.

In reply to Bettina. It will change the consistency but it should still work.

In reply to KN. I was wondering if I could substitute coconut oil for the vegan butter?

Aw, we love lemony stuff, but avoid sugar (white/cane/and the like). Would stevia and/or date sugar substitute alright in this recipe?

These turned out quite nicely. But you need to up the ante to get a real lemony flavor.. I added more lemon juice (and the pulp) than called for and then added some pure lemon extract. They were mildly lemony, but tasty. I would make again with more extract.
