If you know me, you know I’m enamored with the concept of combining fruit and herbs with desserts. I gravitate more towards fruit forward options and the addition of herbs create another dimension of flavor that is just too good!

 

If you love working with fresh herbs, the silver lining is that you’ll always have some on hand that is on the verge of going bad. Throwing them in dessert quick dessert concepts is the perfect way to mitigate waste and give your dishes a flavor boost!

 

Lately I’ve been going thru EDS recipes to ensure that I have all the staples. While I love the typical go to’s as you have to have those, I also LOVE to mix it up. Thus these vegan Lemon Basil Sugar Cookies were just a no brainer!!

  1. How many flaxseed eggs can be used to substitute the vegan egg powder?

  2. Hello Gabrielle!
    All of your cookies I’ve tried have been amazing! Thank you for sharing. Been wanting to try this recipe but don’t have vegan egg replacer mentioned. Not sure if the earlier question was already answered but was wondering if it can be substituted with flax seed or ogran? If so, how much should I use? Thanks so much!
