Luscious Green Tea Lemon Cookies: A Gluten-Free Delight

Ingredients

• 2 and a quarter cups of brown rice flour
• 3/4 cup of densely packed brown sugar
• Quarter cup of roughly chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
• Two green tea bags, like those from Organo™ Gold
• A cup of melted butter
• Quarter cup of agave syrup
• One teaspoon of vanilla extract

Step 1

To begin, let's set the oven at a cozy 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) for that perfect bake. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm notes of brown rice flour, the sweetness of brown sugar, the crunch of pecans, the lift of baking soda, and the zesty touch of lemon. Open up those tea bags and sprinkle in the fragrant contents, then add the velvety richness of butter, the natural sweetness of agave syrup, and the aromatic hint of vanilla extract. Using a fork, blend everything together until a cohesive dough forms.

Step 2

Next, roll the dough into charming 1-inch balls and place them on a baking stone, ready to transform in the heat of the oven. Let them bake until the edges turn a delightful shade of light brown, usually around 11 to 13 minutes. Once out of the oven, allow the cookies to cool for a minute on the baking stone before carefully transferring them to a cooling rack. If any cookies happen to break, gently press them back into shape with care. Let the cookies cool completely, embracing their newfound deliciousness. Repeat this process with the remaining cookie dough, creating a batch of irresistible treats for all to enjoy.
