Lemony Cookie Dough Bites that are vegan and gluten free. I love lemons. I put them in my daily juice. I just love the way they smell and how they seem to freshen a recipe up.
I have plans for a lemon bar, but for now I just made these little bites. I was inspired by the sweet and lemony taste that sugar cookies have.
Lemons are rich in vitamin C, so they can help protect you from colds and the flu. Lemons can help cleanse and detoxify your liver. They also contain 22 anti-cancer compounds and can help slow the growth of cancer.
A lot of people start their day with a large glass of water with lemon to help awaken the digestive system. These little bites are really simple to make and only call for a few ingredients.
If you want to make the lemon taste even stronger, you can add a couple teaspoons of lemon juice as well. My daughter and I filmed a short video about making these. Despite an almost tantrum, I’d say things went well.
