In reply to Sara. Hi Sara, you could use vegan butter instead. Because vegan butter is generally salted, I would reduce the salt to 1/2 teaspoon in that case.

In reply to SB. Hi SB, yes, these are meant to have icing.

Tripled the recipe for more cookies, and they are not sweet enough, came out tasting like pizza dough. Must have any sort of icing with them to have any favor to them. I measured out everything, so I’m not quite sure what happened. With icing they are edible though.

I just made these, not iced, and I love them! The dough was wetter than I expected – maybe my hand was a little too light on measuring the flours? – so I did chill them while the oven was preheating. I got 16 good-sized cookies out of the recipe (~2.5 in diameter)

Instead of lemon zest, I used 1/2 tsp each of lemon and vanilla extracts.

Next time, I will try rolling them in powdered sugar before baking – they really remind me of chocolate crinkle cookies… but, lemon!

In reply to Kayla. Hi Kayla, I'd try butter (although it's not vegan) as an alternative since this dough is similar to pastry dough. Hope that helps!

These sound amazing! I have an allergy to coconut, is there a different oil that you might recommend using instead? Thanks!
