Heard y’all love lemony things. My lemon mini-batch lemon poppy muffins told me. So I thought you might love these soft chewy cookies too.
Easy, nutritious, and omg do they hit that lemony spot. All you need is some basic pantry stuff like butter, sugar, flour and lemon.
I have tested the recipe with applesauce and milk (even almond milk) and both worked beautifully.
Recipe inspired by Desirée of @icanyoucanvegan. Do check her out because her stuff is drool-inducing!

OMG THESE TURNED OUT AMAZING!!! I absolutely love lemon and I think these are now my favorite cookies ever!! YOU NEED TO MAKE THESE!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE THE ENTHUSIASM haha these cookies are insaneeee and I’m getting ready to post the mini-batch version so stay tuned!! 😉
LOVE THIS RECIPE SO MUCH. i usually don’t leave comments on food blogs but i make this all the time, it has the perfect level of sweetness + so yummy. only downside is that my family & friends devour it before i get my fair share but it’s fine because they don’t know i ate half the dough before hand. anyways, i hope to see more (regular-sized/large-batch? 🤔) recipes because they are always so delicious AND healthy. 🤗
Hi Nandhini, I love these lemon cookies as well! I do have a large batch recipe for a very similar cookie, thank you for reminding me to put it up! I will get to it next, promise 🙂 thank you so much for the review, hope you try some other recipes! keep me posted <3
sorry i’m such a dummy, you were already commenting on the recipe i was talking about. sorry for the confusion! unfortunately i’m not planning on making a lot of larger batch recipes but 1 cup of flour here should qualify for small-batch anyway so more like this is coming 🙂 stay tuned!
