3 tbsp water

For the dough

½ cup vegan butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 large lemons)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt

For rolling

½ cup powdered sugar, for rolling
Chef's tip
Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and water until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.
2
In a large bowl, beat the softened vegan butter and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until pale and fluffy. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and the flax egg gel, then beat on low speed until fully incorporated.
