1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 green tea bags (such as Organo™ Gold)

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Mix brown rice flour, brown sugar, pecans, baking soda, and lemon zest together in a mixing bowl. Cut open tea bags and add contents to the bowl. Add butter, agave syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend with a fork until dough comes together.
3 Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a baking stone.
