Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (132 g) superfine blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (53 g) powdered monkfruit or erythritol

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp (0.5 fl oz / 15 ml) lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the superfine almond flour and powdered monkfruit or erythritol until well combined for an even distribution of sweetness and texture.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Incorporate the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest into the dry mix. Stir the mixture until a soft dough forms, making sure the egg is fully mixed in with no streaks of egg white remaining.
  4. Shape the cookies: Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Roll each portion into a round ball, then flatten it into a disk about 1/4 inch thick. Space the cookies roughly 1 inch apart to allow for slight spreading.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges just start turning golden. The cookies will feel soft but the top should no longer be wet.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool fully on the baking sheet, as they will firm up while cooling. Optionally, add a lemon glaze before serving for added flavor and sweetness.
  7. Storage: Store uneaten cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 day at room temperature, or extend freshness by refrigerating or freezing.

Notes

  • Use superfine almond flour for the best texture; coarser almond flour may result in a grittier cookie.
  • Powdered monkfruit or erythritol ensures the sweetness dissolves well; granulated sweeteners could alter texture.
  • Lemon zest and juice add fresh citrus brightness that complements the sweetness perfectly.
  • Cookies will be soft straight from the oven but will firm up as they cool.
  • For a decorative touch, consider a drizzle of lemon glaze made from lemon juice and a keto-friendly powdered sweetener.
  • Store leftovers properly to maintain freshness and texture.
