Lush Lemony Flourless Cookies

gluten free lemon cookies

“These cookies are dense, chewy, and delightfully lemony. Made with just cashew butter, lemon, and a bit of vanilla, you can have these from oven to table in just 20 minutes. And amazingly enough, the gorgeous whipped cream gets its vibrant color 100 percent from blueberries!” by One Green Planet, Food Monster
