Gluten & Refined-Sugar Free Almond Lemon Cookies
🤎 2 cups Almond Flour
🍁 3 tablespoons Maple Syrup
🥥 3 tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil
🍋 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
🍋 2 teaspoons Lemon Zest
🤎½ teaspoon Almond Extract
Glaze (optional for extra sweetness)
🍯 2-3 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Honey
🍋 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
🤎 ¼ teaspoon Almond Extract
👩🍳 Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
👩🍳 In a mixing bowl, stir almond flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, lemon juice, almond extract, and lemon zest
👩🍳 Stir the ingredients with a rubber spatula, when it starts to look dry, squeeze by hands to form a cookie dough ball. If too dry, add a little extra lemon juice to bring the dough together into a soft dough that can easily be rolled into balls. If too wet, add more almond flour.
👩🍳 Divide into 8 portions, lightly oil hands and roll each piece of dough into a ball
👩🍳 Place each cookie dough ball an inch appart on the prepared baking sheet and press the top with the back of glass or your fingers.
👩🍳 Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until slightly golden and slightly hard on top.
Let the cookies cool down on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to completely cool down before glazing.
👩🍳 To make the glaze, in a mixing bowl, stir the maple syrup or honey, lemon juice and almond extract until thick and smooth. Drizzle on top of the cooled cookies.
