These delicious vegan lemon cookies land somewhere between a sugar cookie and shortbread, with a soft and chewy interior and a crisp exterior. Vegan butter creates the perfect texture and provides a rich buttery flavor, and fresh lemon juice and lemon zest give them so much tangy citrus flavor.
Using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, or using an electric hand mixer, cream together vegan butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes), stopping once to scrape down the bowl.
Next, remove mixing bowl from the stand mixer and add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to mix by hand, mixing just until combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
