Recipe

I often serve these cookies with hot tea after my special Friday night restorative yoga class. They are easy to make, and people love them! Some people might not remember the yoga class, but they always remember the cookies.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (I use organic sprouted spelt flour)

  • 2 Tbs of fresh lemon juice

  • zest from one organic lemon

  • ½ tsp salt

Method:

Preheat oven to 350F. Beat butter with sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined, and the color becomes lighter. Add the lemon juice and the zest an mix it all well. Stir in flour until just combined.

Make teaspoon size balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Optional: After the cookies are cooled, sprinkle them with powder sugar.
