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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, granulated erythritol, salt, and baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, place the softened butter and beat it with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until creamy and smooth.
Step 4
Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter. Beat the mixture again until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon to form cookie shapes.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn golden brown.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your low carb lemon cookies!
