“Lemon Ricotta Cookies”
This is a guest post by Christine Robyn.
These delicious lemon cookies are buttery on the outside and thanks to the Tofutti Better Than Ricotta Cheese, they are soft and cake-like on the inside—the perfect complement for afternoon tea or coffee. You can substitute orange juice and extract, and sprinkle poppy or chia seeds on top of them. Yum!

3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

5. Beat in the egg replacer, Tofutti Better Than Ricotta Cheese, applesauce, and lemon juice.
6. Stir in the dry ingredients.
