Lemons are such a versatile fruit, so why not make some adorable Lemon Chia Cookies that are not only moorish but vegan friendly too.

These Lemon Chia Cookies are so easy to make.
With a quick prep and fast cook time, they are definitely a winner all round. You can whip these beauties up in no time at all .
We love recipes that still taste sweet but without the added calories and overload of sugar. Finding these recipes can be tricky sometimes and often the amount of sugar is so miniscule that you might as well call it savoury. This Vegan Lemon Chia Cookie recipe is not only just the amount of sweetness but with the addition of yoghurt, lemon zest and juice is a light kind of healthier shortbread option and great for in-between meal snacks.
Chia seeds have great nutritional value including good fiber content, great plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which have numerous health benefits. They’re also loaded with quality protein.
