Lemon Tea Cookies

[Sariea]

i added more lemon juice and even some lemon extract but even after they're cooled i still don't get a very lemony flavor. but i still think they taste great    i didn't frost them to save on calories but next time i think i might add lemon chips or white chips, i don't think those are vegan but i'm only vegetarian.

also, it says to used ungreased cookie sheets but next time i'll definately grease it because they stuck to the pans

thanks, this is going straight into my recipe collection

What gives these flavor is the icing... 

[Sariea]

well, with or without the icing, i still just ate the whole batch so.. lol  i guess i will have to try it with the icing next time

are you using flax seeds or flax oil? i am new to vegan baking and get confused easily   lol. thanks!

[healthymomma]

Definitely flax seeds, ground for the best end result. Never use flax oil where it will be heated. It ruins all the goodness. They are used as an egg replacer in this case, as you'll see from the consistency they get when they sit in water for a couple minutes.

groovy! i am definitely going to try these.

They were so yummy!! They were eaten as soon as they where out of the oven.
I used applesauce instead of flaxseeds, and whole wheat flour. So good.

Ok so I finally got around to making these. They are so yummy! I don't think I did the lemon rind thing right. I tried to create my own and I think I messed up LOL. Any tips for the future regarding lemon rinding?

Yummy!
I've made them twice now, and I love them.
I think I ended up using more flour than the recipe calls for, but it came out great anyway.

Create your own lemon rind?
If you have a lemon, I recommend using a fine grater, or even better a microplane! You can buy them at most cooking stores; I really didn't think it would be useful, but it makes zesting so much easier!

Hi,
You could try using a really neutral oil, like peanut or canola, but I think you'll see a texture difference.  I live in the north eastern USA.  I'm lucky enought o have many good veg friendly stors here, but I do know that fleischmans makes a vegan oleo, and Willow Run, by Shedd is also vegan.. Good luck!

yes, an oil will work. however you'll want to decrease the amount of oil you use in place of margarine a bit. this webpage has good info on subbing different things: http://www.theppk.com/veganbaking.html

I'm not a huge cookie fan, but these are GREAT!!!   I had limes on hand, but no lemons, so I subbed lime juice.  I am a little stuffy right now and can't taste very well, so I added A LOT more juice than called for.  I also added about a capful of almond extract.  The taste and consistency of these cookies is really great!
