Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 lemon lemon zested
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 ½ cups finely ground almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tbsp fresh lemon juice or water

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Add the softened butter and brown sugar to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on medium speed and beat until completely combined and creamy.
  2. Scrape the sides of the bowl using a rubber spatula, then beat in the eggs one at a time on medium-high speed.
  3. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and pure vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, stir together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until well combined.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  6. Transfer the cookie dough to the refrigerator and chill for at least 15 minutes.
  7. When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop mounds of dough onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  9. Bake for 11 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies begin to turn golden-brown around the edges.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet.
  11. In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until a thick, sticky glaze forms.
  12. Drizzle the desired amount of glaze over each cookie or use a butter knife to frost the cookies.
  13. Serve these lemon almond flour cookies with a mug of tea and enjoy!
