These Doterra cream cheese lemon cookies with essential oils are so pillowy soft and delicious. I love that they use an essential oil too, because not only is it a lifesaver when you don’t have the actual fruit on hand, but it leaves a light and delicious taste to anything you are making. I may need to try adding it to these awesome lemon poppy seed pancakes, lemon strawberry shortcakes or this lemon roasted broccoli.

Peppermint oil helps relieve headaches and eases stomach upset and digestive issues.

Lavender oil is known for its relaxing effect.

Citrus oils are good for household cleaning and are  soothing and relaxing.

What Is A Substitute For Cream Cheese?

You can use 1 cup pureed cottage cheese or 1 cup plain yogurt that has been strained in cheese cloth instead of cream cheese in most recipes.

You could also substitute low fat or non fat cream cheese for regular cream cheese.
