Vegan lemon cookies are a light and fragrant dessert that comes from European cuisine. They are perfect for those observing fasting or following a plant-based diet. The combination of lemon juice and zest gives the cookies a refreshing sweet-and-sour flavor, while vanilla extract adds delicate aromatic notes. Their simplicity in preparation makes them an excellent choice for home baking. These soft and slightly crunchy cookies pair wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee and can also make a delightful gift for loved ones. They can be served as a standalone treat or dusted with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
