How to Make Vegan Lemon Poppyseed Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup vegan margarine until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 cup vegan yogurt (lemon-flavored recommended) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons poppy seeds.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
