Vegan Lemon Cookies

For the cookies:
Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl.

Mix butter, almond milk, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a separate medium-sized mixing bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix with your hands until uniform.

Portion out cookies, flatten and shape with your hands. Bake for 15–20 minutes. Once the cookies are finished, set aside and let cool while you make the icing.

For the icing:
Add powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Melt butter in the microwave for about 10–15 seconds. Mix butter and sugar mixture on low speed with a mixer.

Once the cookies are cool and icing is completely mixed, lather icing onto cookies. Cut basil into ribbons by rolling 2-4 basil leave together and slicing from top to bottom. Sprinkle basil ribbons on top.
