115 g vegan butter

100 g sugar (I used golden caster but you could use white or soft brown)

2 tbsp golden caster sugar

1 tbsp ground flax seed

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 Zest from a lemon

1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract

140 g plain flour

0.50 tsp baking powder

0.25 tsp salt

Cream butter and 100g sugar together then add flax, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla and mix.

Sift in flour, baking powder and salt and mix until just combined (don't over-mix).

Put cookie dough in fridge for 30-60 mins.

Pre-heat oven to 175C and line some baking trays with greaseproof paper.

With your hands, create 1.5tbsp balls with the cookie dough and roll in the tbsp sugar and add to baking tray.

Bake for 10-15 mins - the cookies should be slightly browning on the outside but still a little squishy in middle. Allow to cook for at least 10 mins before eating!
