Gluten-free Lemon Cookies
These gluten-free lemon cookies come together in one bowl and require only a few ingredients to make. They are dairy-free, egg-free, refined-sugar-free, and are the perfect sweet treat!
Servings: 10 small cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp mild tasting oil melted coconut or extra light tasting olive oil
- ½ tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Stir together the almond flour and baking powder until combined.
- Add in the oil, maple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon skin and mix until well combined. The dough should come together and be easy to roll and not too sticky.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- Press down on the balls to shape them into cookie shapes. Place these cookies on a parchment paper-lined pan.
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly brown. Let the cookies cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to flatten and shape the cookies beforehand because they will not change shape while baking.
- Do not bake the cookies for more than 15 mins. They may appear light-colored but they will darken as they cool.
- These cookies are soft and chewy in texture and easy for little ones to eat.
- Feel free to top the cookies with fun toppings for an extra fun treat! I love to top these cookies with some yogurt and a few sprinkles of lemon zest.
