  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the large egg, freshly squeezed lemon juice, melted coconut oil, and whisk for a few minutes until frothy.  
  2. Incorporate the sweetener and lemon zest.
  3. Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and mix with a spatula until a thick batter starts to form
  4. Refrigerate the dough for about 10 minutes to make cookies easier to form. 
  5. Shape about 14-15 cookies (1 oz each) and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Watch them closely as they tend to burn pretty fast. You know they’re ready if they are lightly browned on top but still moist and fragile. 
  6. Let them cool down and serve simple, dusted with powdered sweetener or drizzle one of my two toppings. Enjoy!

  • 6 tablespoon cream cheese softened
  • 4 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoon powdered sweetener

SUGAR-FREE LEMON GLAZE

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the egg, lemon juice, melted coconut oil, and whisk for a few minutes until frothy.

  • Put the cookie dough in the freezer for about 5 minutes. It will become easier to handle.
  • Form about 14-15 cookies using your hands and place them onto the baking tray. Flatten the cookies and give them the desired shape as they won’t flatten.

  • To make the sugar free lemon glaze: Combine all the ingredients and whisk until the sweetener is dissolved, and the glaze is slightly thicker. Add more sweetener for a thicker glaze.
