    List of Ingredients




    Cookie Ingredients:
    2/3 cup shortening or margarine
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1 egg or 1 Tbsp. egg replacer mixed with 2 Tbsp. warm water
    1/2 cup lemon juice
    lemon zest, optional
    2 cups GF flour mix (Rachel used 2/3 c each pea & amaranth flour, 1/3 c each tapioca and arrowroot starches; Ann used MYO Better Batter)
    1 tsp xanthan gum
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp kosher salt
    1/2 tsp baking soda

    Frosting Ingredients:
    3 Tbsp. margarine/shortening
    1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
    1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
    lemon zest, optional

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    In a mixer, cream shortening & sugar.

    Add egg or Egg Replacer and beat thoroughly.

    Add lemon juice (and zest if you have it).

    Whisk dry ingredients (GF flour mix, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, baking soda) together.

    Add dry ingredients slowly to wet ingredients.

    Use a cookie scooper or a teaspoon to drop about 2 inches apart onto parchment paper or silpat on cookie sheet.

    Bake 8-12 min until light brown on edges. Watch out, they go from tan to burned very, very quickly.

    When cookies are cool, mix frosting.

    Beat margarine or shortening.

    Add confectioners sugar and lemon juice until mixed into a very nice frosting texture.

    Spread on cookies and let set.
