Almond Lemon Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup refined organic coconut oil melted (unrefined coconut oil will add a coconut taste, so use that if you want the coconut flavor)
- 1/3 cup organic maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon organic lemon zest
- 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
- 1 1/3 cups organic almond flour
- 2 tablespoons organic coconut flour sifted if lumpy
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the coconut oil, maple syrup, lemon zest and lemon extract.
- Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt.
- The mixture might be thin and wet and much more like batter than dough. Don’t worry if it is. Do not add any additional flour!
- Chilling will firm it up, if necessary. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes and then place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the dough is firm.
- Roll cookies into 1″ – 2″ balls and slightly flatten.
- Place 3″ apart on the prepared baking sheet and press the balls down slightly with your palm.
- For smaller cookies, bake for 8 – 10 minutes; larger sized cookies will need 12-15 minutes until the cookies have lightly browned.
- The cookies may crackle a little, that’s fine.
- The cookies will still be very soft when you remove them from the oven. Let them cool on the pan completely.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
