I have been craving lemon cookies, lemon cake, lemon butter….. So basically anything lemony… these gluten free cookies hit that spot and what's the best thing about them, they are super easy to make.
What you need
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
Zest from one lemon
1 lemon, juice only
1 large egg white
confectioners sugar for rolling
blanched almonds or lemon curd/butter for decorating (optional)
Preheat oven to 180°c
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and sugar. Mix with a wooden spoon until there are no lumps. Add in the zest, juice and egg white and mix with your hands until a paste forms. The paste should hold its shape.
Add some granulated sugar to a shallow dish.
Add some confectioners sugar to a separate shallow dish.
Take a level tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in the granulated sugar first and then in the confectioners sugar.
Place the cookies on the parchment lined baking sheet and place the blanched almond on top or make an indent in cookie and fill with lemon curd/butter. This should slightly flatten the cookie.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the bottoms begin to brown.
These cookies are soft and slightly chewy and delicious.
