Lemon Poppy Seed Snaps

SPOIL YOURSELF WITH THESE HEALTHY VEGAN COOKIES. A SWEET AND SOUR LEMON AFFAIR!

When life gives you lemons, please bake these cookies!

These snaps are a state of mind, incredibly tasty. With a sublime citrus flavour and chewy edges…No one will even know they’re light because they’re so good!

Some secret tips to rock these snaps:

⇒ If you overmix the flour, the gluten from the spelt flour will develop and your snaps can get quite tough.

⇒ It’s healthier to use parchment paper or ungreased baking sheets instead of greasing baking sheets. It’ll avoid the browning too.

⇒ Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before moving to an airtight storage container. They’ll remain fresh and keep that nice chewy texture.

⇒ Last one, don’t replace the olive oil with coconut oil. In this recipe, the mellow fruity flavour is really the key.
