Think lemonade or lemon vinaigrette on salad. In that cheerful tradition, here is a recipe for lemon poppyseed cookies. They have a bright, uplifting flavor and can pair with iced tea or accent a dish of vanilla-coconut ice cream nicely. Not as heavy as a muffin, they are a subtle, summery finish for any hot-weather meal, and also pack well to take on hikes with family or friends.<\/p>\n<p>1-1\/2 cups all purpose flour<\/p>\n<p>1 Tablespoon arrowroot starch (or cornstarch)<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 teaspoon baking powder<\/p>\n<p>1\/4 teaspoon baking soda<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup vegan sugar<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup vegan margarine, softened to room temperature<\/p>\n<p>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n<p>1 teaspoon lemon extract<\/p>\n<p>Zest and juice from one lemon<\/p>\n<p>1 Tablespoon poppyseeds<\/p>\n<p>Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0 bowl, mix flour, arrowroot, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.<\/p>\n<p>In a second bowl, combine sugar, margarine, extracts, and lemon zest and juice. Blend using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.\u00a0Add dry ingredients and poppyseeds, and mix again until a stiff dough forms and seeds and uniformly distributed throughout. If there is leftover dry flour, you may have had a not-very-juicy lemon and might need to add a little water or plain soymilk. Add by the tablespoon until dough comes together; don&#8217;t overdo it, this isn&#8217;t a runny cookie dough.<\/p>\n<p>Scoop by tablespoon-full onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-12 minutes, until cookies are firm, edges are lightly browned, and kitchen smells fragrant. Allow to cool on cookie sheet ten minutes before serving.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rissa Miller, Senior Editor Vegetarian Journal (Makes about 26-28 cookies) Something about lemon sings of summertime.
