Servings: 12 cookies
Calories: 180kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour 112g
- 10 1/2 tbsp coconut flour 74g
- 7 tbsp powdered monkfruit/erythritol sweetener 80g
- 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp if using unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs room temperature
- ~10 tbsp salted butter softened 140g
- 1/4 cup 60g lemon juice
- zest of one large lemon
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350*F.
- In a bowl, beat together your butter and sweetener until light and fluffy.
- Add your eggs and vanilla extract and beat again until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together all of your dry ingredients and then add them to your butter mixture. Along with your lemon juice and zest.
- Use a spoon to mix everything together.
- Take large spoonfuls of batter and roll them into balls, flatten slightly on a greased baking sheet and bake for 12min. (I usually make 6 large cookies)
- Cool the cookies on a baking sheet until the have "set" enough to be lifted then place them on a plate to serve (they WILL set so don't over-bake them).
- Store them in an airtight container between layers of parchment or wax paper in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy your Keto Lemon Cookies!
Notes
- When making these cookies, be sure to let them cool quite a bit before removing them from the tray. They do harden up after baking, you just have to give them some time...as hard as I know it is to wait for cookies to cool!
