Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and erythritol together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, then add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough ball lightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve once cooled, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
