Lemon Chia Seed Cookies


Light and zesty, these are a great afternoon snack to go with tea or coffee.




Vegan. Makes about 10 cookies.

Ingredients

  • Zest of one lemon
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp blue agave syrup
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 3 tbsp semi solid coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup coconut palm sugar
  • 1 tbsp turmeric
  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar + dash of salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, agave syrup, chia seeds, coconut oil, and palm sugar in a bowl until relatively smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients (save the brown sugar and dash of salt), mixing and kneading until it forms a dough. Pinch off portions of the dough, roll into small balls, and after pressing them onto a greased baking sheet, either sprinkle with sugar salt mixture OR place sugar salt mixture into a ramekin and press the cookie into the mixture before laying on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, and serve.
