Instructions
The lemon curd:
-
In a small pot, whisk all the ingredients together over medium-low heat with a whisk for about 8 minutes.
-
Once it thickens and becomes completely homogeneous, transfer the contents to a glass jar and allow to come to room temperature.
-
Cover with plastic wrap in direct contact with the curd and refrigerate for at least one hour. Let your cookies cool down before frosting!
The cookies:
-
First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, add Vegan butter and coconut sugar. Use a hand mixer to beat together.
-
Then, add in lemon extract, milk, and applesauce. Stir together.
-
Add in all remaining ingredients. Stir together.
-
Use a cookie scoop to drop balls of dough onto the lined pan. Place at least 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies look set in the middle.
-
Finally, remove from oven. Cool on pan for 10 minutes before topping with a scoop of lemon curd and enjoying.
Note
Feel free to use softened coconut oil instead of butter. Make sure it is room temperature, not melted.
