Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt. Set it aside.
  • In a separate bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, melted coconut oil, and granulated sugar. Add the evaporated oat milk and vanilla extract, and mix again.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir until you don’t see any dry bits of flour left. Cover the bowl and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Take a heaped tablespoon amount of cookie dough into your hands and roll it into a ball. Place it on a parchment paper and repeat until all the cookie dough has been rolled. Place them into the fridge for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the cookie dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 9-12 minutes.
  • When the cookies come out of the oven, take a teaspoon and press on the surface of each cookie to create an indentation. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack.
  • Lay the cookies on a wire rack or parchment paper and dust them with powdered sugar. Fill the indentations with the lemon curd.

Notes

Vegan Butter: If your butter has a fat content that's less than 8 grams per 2 teaspoons 0f butter, use cup vegan butter and cup melted coconut oil or shortening. Be sure to use refined coconut oil instead of virgin or extra-virgin coconut oil.
