Vegan & Gluten Free Glazed Lemon Chia Cookies

Hey friends! I have been meaning to make a dessert with lemon for a long time. I am obsessed with the refreshing flavor lemon always brings whether sweet or savory. These cookies are light, soft and chewy and full of lemon and chia! Chia seeds are really healthy for you; they are full of omega 3 fatty acids and other nutrients. These healthier version cookies are gluten-free and vegan-friendly with no refined sugar! You already know I was munching on these as soon as I topped them with that tangy glaze. Can’t wait for you to try these!! They are a hit that you do not want to miss.
