Instructions
- Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. - Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, mix the almond flour, erythritol, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. - Form the Dough:
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until a soft dough forms. Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes to allow the almond flour to absorb moisture. - Shape the Cookies:
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and flatten slightly onto the prepared baking sheet. - Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring. - Optional Glaze:
In a small bowl, mix powdered sweetener, lemon juice, and water until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies for an extra lemony kick -
Tips:
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For extra zing, sprinkle a bit of lemon zest over the glaze!
Enjoy these guilt-free, tangy delights!
