Method
Making the Lemon Curd
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, water, sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a gentle bubble and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once thick, remove from heat and mix in coconut oil and almond milk until combined. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill.
Preparing the Lemon Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, gluten-free flour, tapioca starch, turmeric, and sea salt. In another bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil and agave syrup.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until a cohesive dough forms. If warm, refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Shaping and Cutting the Cookies
- On a floured surface, roll out dough to about ¼-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes for the cookies. Chill cut cookies on a baking sheet for an additional 10 minutes.
Baking the Cookies
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Making the Icing
- Beat vegan butter until creamy. Gradually add sifted icing sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Add almond milk for desired consistency.
Assembling the Sandwich Cookies
- Pipe icing around the edge of one cookie, add a dollop of chilled lemon curd, and top with another cookie. Repeat until all cookies are assembled.
