Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1.5 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Granulated erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients until fully mixed and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a hand or stand mixer. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4

Mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry mixture, folding gently until everything is combined. The mixture should be slightly sticky but pliable.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges have just started to turn golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the macaroons to cool completely on the pan. They will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, store the macaroons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
