Vegan Lemon Shortbread Cookies
If there is one flavor profile I love, it’s lemon. I have such an affinity for all things lemon that I’d have to say I may prefer it over chocolate lol. (gasps) Some of my favorite vegan concepts are actually these vegan Lemon Rosemary Cookies or these Lemon Rosemary Muffins. I find that lemon cuts through flavors in savory dishes and even with baked goods, it breaks up the sweetness and adds another dimension of flavor that I just.. always crave.
Since spring is here, I was on the move to whip up a treat that was effortless and lemon forward, and the vegan Lemon Shortbread Cookies were born!
What’s fab about this recipe is it’s simplicity! It features a handful of ingredients, packs tons of lemon flavor, is buttery soft, has texture from the course sugar, it’s a timeless flavor, great with a cup of tea, it’s good for any season, they hold up when stored, can easily be made in bulk and is a lemon lovers dream!
If you love all things lemon or just crave seamless vegan cookies, you’re going to love these new vegan Lemon Shortbread Cookies!!

Love these cookies! I used avocado oil instead of coconut oil and they turned out great. They’re good with or without the added sugar on the outside too. Such a nice, light cookie. The cookies don’t really spread while they bake, so it’s a perfect recipe if you want to bake a large quantity of cookies since you can fit more on a sheet.
Can you make these using an all purpose Gluten free flour blend?
Hi Camilla, You can always try, but I’ve only tested this recipe with traditional white flour.

I used this recipe to make a pandan flavored shortbread cookie. It’s delicious! Substituted ACV for lemon juice, and pandan extract for lemon. Looking forward to the lemon version next time I have some on hand.
I have to make these vegan lemon shortbread cookies right now because so excited to eat with the family.
Hi , can I substitute vegan butter for coconut oil ?
