Lemon Drop Cookies

Makes: 2 1/2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 3/4 cup lite silken tofu
- 1/2 cup almond milk, unsweetened
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon extract
Icing
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
- colored sprinkles
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a food processor, process the lite silken tofu, almond milk, melted butter, sugar, and lemon extract until well combined and creamy.
- In a stand mixer, add the flour, baking powder, salt, and grated lemon zest. Give it a quick mix. Add the tofu mixture to the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Drop dough by the tablespoonful onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
- After the cookies have completely cooled, dip the tops into the icing. Place on a cooling rack. Quickly top with colored sprinkles.
I’m hoping to try these this week. Have to get to whole foods and not let Jack know they’re vegan. It sounds like his type of cookie!
