Today’s recipe for cookies:

1 cup Earth Balance

3 cups self-rising flour + 1 tsp. baking soda (plus additional flour to make the dough stuff enough to drop by spoonfuls)

1 cup almond meal

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup molasses

1/2 cup honey

1 tsp. vanilla

2 T. dried sweet basil

4 T. lemon juice

3 T. finely chopped lemon zest

1 T. flax meal + 3 T. water, let set 5 minutes before using

Preheat the oven to 350

Spoon small drops of dough, about the size of a large grape

Bake for about 13 minutes, or according to your oven’s mood.

They will spread a bit and don’t let them get too brown or they get very unruly and too crisp.
