  1. In bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, or in large bowl using hand mixer, beat plant butter, sugars, vanilla & 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice on high speed to combine.
  2. In medium bowl, whisk to combine flour, baking soda & salt.
  3. Add dry ingredients to large bowl with plant butter mixture. Add lemon zest; beat to combine, scraping sides of bowl, as needed, with rubber spatula.
  4. Chill dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. While dough is chilling, preheat oven to 325°. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Place 1 marshmallow half, sticky side-down, in bottom of a #24 cookie scoop. Scoop dough, then level off excess back into bowl, and place on prepared cookie sheets, spacing at least 2-3 inches apart.
  7. Bake on middle rack of oven for 8-10 minutes, or until cookies have spread out and marshmallow is melted in the center. Cool 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to continue cooling.
  8. To make lemon glaze, combine remaining 3 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 cup powdered sugar in small bowl. Use fork to whisk until combined and smooth. Drizzle glaze over cookie tops. Allow glaze to set before serving. Makes 16 cookies.

Notes

Non-vegan marshmallows can be used also. Make sure to use regular-size marshmallows (recipe won’t work with mini or jumbo marshmallows). Cookies can be stored in a single layer in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperatures, plus an additional 3-4 days in the refrigerator. The marshmallow center will remain gooey and soft.
