    Soft & Citrusy Chocolate Treats

    If you love a lemon-flavoured goodie every now and again, look no further than these vegan lemon cookies which take no time at all to make. They're so soft and delicious. I think that you will love them.

    Another cookie recipe that I highly recommend is my single serve double chocolate chip cookie which is even easier and flavourful!

    • All-purpose flour
    • Baking soda - the most important ingredient that helps the cookies to spread.
    • Salt

    Tips For Making Lemon Cookies

    Let the cookies cool fully

    They are very soft and tender when they first come out from the oven which means that they are capable of falling apart.

    Allow them to cool completely on a cooling rack so that they can firm up. They will still taste unbelievably delicious.

    Customisations & Substitutions

    Use vegan white chocolate chips. This also works so well. Some days I actually prefer this flavour combination. No matter which type of chocolate chips you use, you'll love these cookies so much.

    Why I love These Lemon Cookies

    • They are sweet and zesty.
    • These cookies are fully vegan and dairy-free.
    • This recipe takes less than 20 minutes.
    • The texture has a nice chewiness.

    How To Store Vegan Lemon Cookies

    Store these lemon chocolate chip cookies at room temperature for up to 5 days, sealed inside an airtight container.

    You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
