Description
Delicious and healthy lemon-flavored cookies made with almond flour and sweetened with allulose.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups almond flour (blanched or superfine)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup allulose (or monk fruit sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 large egg whites (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1–2 drops yellow food coloring (optional)
- 1/4 cup sugar free powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all your dry ingredients and mix well.
- In another mixing bowl, beat together your egg whites until soft peaks form. Add in the lemon extract and yellow food coloring.
- Gently fold through the dry mixture until combined.
- In a separate bowl, add the sugar free powdered sugar. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and roll them in the powdered sugar until combined.
- Repeat until all the cookie dough balls have been covered. Press down onto each cookie, as they won’t spread.
- Bake the cookies for 15 minutes, or until the edges are done and the tops begin to crackle.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely. If the powdered sugar has seeped into the cookies while baking, sprinkle more on top.
Notes
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon zest for a more intense flavor.
