Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Butter, unsalted
- 1 unit Egg, large
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated erythritol, salt, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
In a separate large bowl, place the softened butter and beat it with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until creamy and smooth.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter. Beat the mixture again until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. It may seem crumbly at first, but it will come together as you mix.
Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon to form cookie shapes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your low carb lemon cookies!
