Gluten-Free Almond Flour Lemon Cookies

  • Author: Lilya
  • Total Time: 29 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Description

Tender, chewy gluten-free almond flour cookies with bright lemon flavor made from simple, wholesome ingredients. Perfect for a quick snack, tea time, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) finely ground blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey (can substitute maple syrup)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (can substitute unsalted butter)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Zest lemons and juice one lemon. If egg is cold, bring to room temperature.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, egg, melted coconut oil, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon zest.
  4. In another bowl, stir together almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Fluff almond flour before measuring if packed.
  5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold together until no dry flour remains. Dough will be sticky and soft.
  6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto prepared baking sheet spaced 2 inches apart. Optionally flatten slightly.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and tops look set but still soft. Avoid overbaking.
  8. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh lemon zest for best flavor. Measure almond flour correctly by scooping and leveling with a knife. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies chewy. Store in airtight container up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months. Warm cookies for 10 seconds in microwave to soften if needed. Optional: add a pinch of citric acid to enhance lemon tartness or drizzle with lemon glaze.
