Instructions
- Prepare the lemon curd by combining lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, water, cornstarch, coconut oil, almond milk, and turmeric powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until thickened and let cool.
- For the lemon cookies, mix almond flour, gluten-free flour, tapioca starch, turmeric, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, cream the coconut oil and agave syrup, then add the lemon zest. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
- Roll out the dough and cut into rounds. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
- For the matcha cookies, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, gluten-free flour, and matcha. Mix in agave syrup and coconut oil until combined. Shape into rounds and bake similarly.
- Make the icing by beating the icing sugar, vegan butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
- Assemble the sandwiches by spreading lemon curd between two cookies and drizzling icing on top, if desired.
Notes
For the agave syrup, adjust the sweetness according to your taste. Ensure all ingredients are gluten-free when purchasing.
