Description

Soft, bright, and perfectly guilt-free — these low calorie lemon cookies are bursting with flavor and can be adapted for keto, sugar-free, or almond flour variations.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/3 cup monk fruit or erythritol

1 large egg

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp lemon zest

1/4 tsp baking soda

Pinch of salt

Optional: 2 tbsp light cream cheese


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.

3. Add lemon juice, egg, and cream cheese (if using). Stir to form a soft dough.

4. Chill dough in fridge for 15 minutes.

5. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on baking sheet. Flatten slightly.

6. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.

7. Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
