Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup confectioners sweetener
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Juice of ½ lemon
Frosting (Optional)
- ¼ cup confectioners sweetener
- Juice of ½ lemon
- ½ tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, and baking powder to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, softened butter, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon, scoop out portions of the dough and shape them into tablespoon-sized balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press each cookie to flatten slightly, then bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow them to cool before serving.
Frosting Instructions (Optional)
- For a sweet citrus glaze, whisk together the confectioners sweetener, lemon juice, and heavy cream until thickened. Drizzle over the cooled cookies and let set before enjoying.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easy mixing.
- Chilling the dough helps with shaping and prevents the cookies from spreading too much.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer shelf life.
