Healthy Lemon Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl, stir almond flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, lemon juice, almond extract, and lemon zest

  3. Stir the ingredients with a rubber spatula, when it starts to look dry, squeeze by hands to form a cookie dough ball. If too dry, add a little extra lemon juice to bring the dough together into a soft dough that can easily be rolled into balls. If too wet, add more almond flour.

  4. Divide into 8 portions, lightly oil hands and roll each piece of dough into a ball

  5. Place each cookie dough ball a inch appart on the prepared baking sheet and press the top with the back of glass or your fingers.

  6. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until slightly golden and slightly hard on top.

  7. Let the cookies cool down on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to completely cool down before glazing. You must glaze the cookies for best balance of sweetness and extra lemon flavors, the cookies alone are not very sweet.

  8. To make the glazing, in a mixing bowl, stir the powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract until thick and smooth. If too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar to thicken.

  9. Drizzle on top of the cooled cookies.
