Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Okay, let’s make the curd first to let it cool. Just mix the zest, juice, water, sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl, then put it over medium heat and keep whisking. It will thicken really quickly. Once that happens, turn off the heat and stir in the coconut oil, almond milk, and turmeric, then pour it into a bowl and put it in the fridge.

Step 2: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Now, in a medium bowl, mix all the dry ingredients for the lemon cookies, then add the melted coconut oil and agave. After that, just put your hands in the mixture and press everything together until a ball of dough forms.

Step 3: Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, trying to get it about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out the lemon shapes and be really gentle when moving them to the baking tray using a spatula, as they’re soft.

Step 4: Now for the leaves. Same deal. Mix the dry stuff in a little bowl, add the wet stuff, and mix it up. Bam, green dough.

Step 5: Roll out the dough. I didn’t have a small leaf cutter, so I just used a knife to cut out little leaf shapes—and don’t worry, it works. Gently press your little leaves onto the lemon cookies, don’t press too hard.

Step 6: Bake ’em for 10 minutes. And I mean exactly 10 minutes—try setting a timer. You really don’t want them to brown. Just a tiny hint of golden on the edge will be perfect. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes.

Step 7: For the frosting, beat the room-temperature butter until it’s light and fluffy. Sift the powdered sugar… (don’t skip sifting, it really makes the mixture much better) then beat it. Now add the vanilla and a little almond milk, then mix until smooth.

Step 8: This is the fun part. Flip the cookie over, then sprinkle a little powdered sugar in a circle around the edges – like a tiny wall. Next, put a spoonful of cold, delicious lemon cream in the middle. Place another cookie on top and gently press it down, and that’s it.

• 3 tablespoons agave syrup
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted

Vanilla Icing

• 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
• 1/2 cup vegan butter room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 teaspoons almond milk

Instructions

1. Make the custard first. Whisk together the egg yolk, lemon zest and juice, water, sugar, and cornstarch in a pot, then heat it over medium heat, continuing to whisk until it thickens. After that, remove it from the heat. Stir in coconut oil, almond milk, and turmeric. Put it in the fridge to cool.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
3. Mix all the ingredients for the lemon cookie dough in a bowl, then add the melted coconut oil and agave. Use your hands to form a ball of dough.
4. Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper until it's about a quarter-inch thick, then cut out the desired lemon shapes. Gently transfer them to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
5. Now make the green dough. Mix the dry matcha ingredients, then add coconut oil and agave, and mix until it turns into a dough.
6. Roll out the matcha dough. Cut out small leaf shapes (you can use a small knife). Gently press the leaves onto the surface of the lemon cookies.
7. Bake for 10 minutes. Watch them closely so they don't get too brown. Let them cool on the pan for a bit then move them to a cooling rack.
8. Prepare the cream. Beat the butter at room temperature. Sift the powdered sugar and add it, then beat it. Add the vanilla and a little almond milk. Mix until smooth.
9. Arrange the cookies. Draw a circle of icing on the flat side of a cookie. Add a spoonful of cold lemon cream in the center. Gently press another cookie on top.

Notes

1. Maple syrup works instead of agave, but the cookies will be darker. You might want to use 1 tablespoon less.
