What Is Culinary Lavender?
All lavender is edible, but not all of it grown with the intent of being consumed. Therefore it could have been treated with things that aren’t safe to eat. Only use lavender that states it’s meant for culinary use.
How To Make Vegan Lemon Lavender Sugar Cookies
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl mix together the ground flax seeds and warm water.
In a large bowl cream together the vegan butter and sugar with a stand mixer or handheld mixer until it’s light a fluffy. This will take about a minute.
Add in the flax seed mixture, lemon extract, vanilla extract and mix until combined. Then add in the flour, corn starch, lavender, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Beat again until everything is just combined, making sure to scrape the side of the bowl occasionally.
Roll the dough into one inch balls and then roll them in the sugar. Place the dough onto parchment lined baking sheets about two inches apart and then bake them to 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden on the bottom.
These cookies will be very soft and fragile at first, but will firm up as they cool off. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet before attempting to move them.
FAQ And Tips For Making Vegan Lemon And Lavender Sugar Cookies
- Do I need to chill the dough? No. That’s the great thing about this recipe! It’s is very quick and the dough doesn’t need to be chilled. The added corn starch prevents the cookies from spreading too much while they’re baking.
- What are the flax seeds for? Flax seeds work as a binder and are frequently used in vegan baking. Don’t worry, they don’t impact the taste to texture of the cookies.
