Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Beat non-dairy butter and sugar together in a separate bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg, cottage cheese, 2 1/4 teaspoons each lemon and lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon each lemon and lime zest. Add to flour mixture; mix well.

Step 4

Flour hands to keep dough from sticking. Scoop out tablespoons of batter and roll into balls. Place on prepared baking sheet and slightly flatten.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until edges start to lightly brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool completely before glazing.

Step 6

Mix powdered sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons lemon juice, 2 1/4 teaspoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoon lime zest together in a small bowl. Drizzle or brush over cooled cookies.
