Low Carb Lemon Cookies
Serves: 8 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup Almond Flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Flour
- 1/4 cup Erythritol – can go up to 1/3 cup for a sweeter flavor
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice fresh or organic
- 1/4 cup Coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest – optional
- Sugar-Free Lemon Glazing
- 1/4 cup Sugar-free powdered sweetener
- 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil , melted
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest , optional, to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C (350F). Line a cookie tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, sugar-free crystal sweetener and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, add coconut oil and lemon juice. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until the coconut oil is fully melted. Otherwise, place the ingredients in a saucepan warm on medium heat. Remove from heat when the coconut oil is melted.
- Pour liquid onto dry ingredients, add lemon zest if desired and combine until it forms a cookie dough. You should be able to shape a ball. The batter should be soft, buttery and not dry. If dry, adjust with 1-2 teaspoon of water but you shouldn’t have to.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes, wrapped in a piece of plastic wrap or in the mixing bowl covered with silicone lid.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and shape 8 even cookie dough balls. You can weight the dough if you want precision.
- Roll each balls in your hands to shape smooth cookie dough balls.
- Place each balls on the cookie tray leaving a thumb size space between each balls. The cookies won’t expand in the oven so you don’t have to leave a big space between them.
- Press the balls slightly with your hand palm to flatten cookies. Don’t flatten too much or the sides will form cracks and they won’t be as soft and moist. The thicker, the moister!
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden on sides. The middle will stay slightly soft and that is the texture you want.
- Remove the cookie tray from the oven and cool down on the tray for 20 minutes before transferring on the rack to cool down to room temperature. Don’t touch the cookies during the first 20 minutes, they are soft and need time to firm up.
How to Prepare Sugar-Free Lemon Glazing
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free powdered sweetener, coconut oil and lemon juice. Play with the texture, adding more sweetener, 1 teaspoon at a time for a thicker glazing or more lemon juice for a thinner glazing.
- Drizzle the glazing onto the cold cookies. Don’t decorate warm or lukewarm cookies or the glazing will melt and be absorbed by the cookie dough.
- For a lovely white glazing, place the cookies 2 minutes in the freezer just after adding the glazing. This step set the glazing fast and makes beautiful cookie decoration.
- Sprinkle lemon zest on top if desired.
- Store the lemon cookies in an airtight container for up up to 3 days in the pantry or in the fridge if you prefer your cookies firm.
