Lemon Almond Cookies
 
 
These cookies are pretty darn easy to make, soft, and aren't overly sweet---my kind of cookie. If you have a bigger sweet tooth, use honey (which isn't vegan) instead of agave, or these would be ideal to sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Ingredients
  • 1 C vegan margarine
  • ¾ C agave
  • ½ tsp almond extract
  • 3 Tbs fresh lemon juice
  • Zest from one small lemon
  • ½ C ground almonds
  • ½ C chopped almonds
  • 1 C whole wheat flour
  • 1 C all-purpose flour
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, cream together margarine and agave. Add the almond extract, lemon juice, lemon zest; combine well. In another bowl, combine the ground and chopped walnuts with the flours and add to the margarine mixture. The batter will be sticky---it's supposed to be, so don't add any more flour.
  2. Roll dough into 1 to 1-1/2" balls and place onto a lightly greased cookie sheet; press down slightly.
  3. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the bottom edge of the cookies begin to turn a golden brown. Enjoy!
