What if I don’t use oils? Can lemon juice replace that? And if so, what would be the amount?

I’ve only used it with oils so honestly your guess would be as good as mine! I would start with a TB and taste and adjust as needed.

These sound wonderful! Any chance I can sub more coconut oil for the butter? We have some dairy allergies here. Thanks!
I don’t see why not!

What is the serving size?
Since this is an S cookie there is no technical serving size, however, I would stick to 2-3 so as not to overdo it.
Hope that helps!

I don’t use oils, can I substitute lemon extract?
Girl you don’t use oils yet?? Yes, you can sub extract but it’s not quite the same. Email us if you’d like a sample of Young Living oils. We’d be happy to send you some! MomCare@TheLaundryMoms.com

I just made these yummy cookies and I used 2 TBS of lemon juice and 2 packets of the Just Lemon. I zested the lemon too. (as called for in the recipe). As they were baking the aroma of lemon really filled my whole house and they taste divine! I am so glad I found this recipe!
Yay! I’m so glad Deborah! ~Angela
