Yellow, tart, juicy, flavorful, sour. All words to describe a lemon, but notice how “sweet” didn’t make the list. It can be tricky to bake with lemons because most baked desserts are appealing to the sweet senses. And on top of that, it’s often difficult to bake with any fruit because of a natural lack of consistency. Soft lemon cookies may come out hard one day, and gooey lemon squares can turn out cakey the next. At Whisked, we’ve perfected the art of baking vegan lemon cookies. Our Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed cookies are a huge hit  both online and in stores across the DMV and Philadelphia areas. Check out or tips below for baking with lemon zest, lemon juice, and whole lemons.
