Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:20 Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
01:53 In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, and lemon zest and use an electric mixer to cream until light and fluffy.
03:37 In a separate, medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt.
04:01 Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined.
05:03 Scoop dough into 1 Tablespoon-sized balls, rolling gently between your palms to create a smooth ball. Place on baking sheet, spacing cookies at least 2 inches apart.
05:50 Transfer to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.
06:15 When cookies are finished baking, immediately use a clean, flat surface to lightly flatten the surface of each cookie (a measuring cup or glass works well). Allow cookies to cool completely before adding lemon icing.
Lemon Icing
06:47 In a small mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until completely combined and smooth. Mixture should be slightly thick and, when the whisk is lifted, should ribbon back into the bowl and hold its shape for several seconds before dissolving back into the bowl. If your icing is too thick, add more lemon juice. If it’s too thin, add more sugar.
07:57 Spoon a small amount of glaze onto the completely cooled cookie, and use the back of the spoon to spread evenly over the top. If desired, garnish with lemon zest.
09:35 Allow cookies to sit until glaze is firm before enjoying.

Soft Lemon Cookies - Melt in your mouth
Lemon cookies are super simple to make and delicious. Made with a combination of lemon juice and zest, they have a tremendous natural flavor. I really enjoy them with a nice cup of tea or glass of milk.
Get the recipe:
There are a few tips to making these tasty lemon cookies. First, I find the juice from one lemon is about perfect. If you want them more or less lemony, simple adjust the amount of juice accordingly.
I always use a few drops of yellow food coloring to make them really yellow and vibrant. This is totally optional, and you can be the judge.
The zest from one lemon is about perfect form my liking. Just be careful not to zest too far into the lemon as it will become bitter. You only want the zest from the shiny part of the skin.
The amount of sugar and vanilla extract can be altered too. Just be careful not to over power the lemon flavour with vanilla extract.
Watch the video and give our lemon cookies a try. As always, let us know what you think.

Net Carb = 0.6 g
Calories = 68
Total Fat = 6.5 g
Protein = 1.4 g
INGREDIENTS
Unsalted Butter (softened) = 113 g / 1/2 cup (You can use vegan butter for dairy free option)
Almond Flour = 240 g / 2 cups
Monk fruit = 70 g / 5 2/3 tbsp (You can also use any keto friendly sweetener)
Fresh Lemon Juice = 2 tbsp
Lemon Extract = 1 tsp (Optional)
Lemon Zest = Zest from 2 lemons / 2 tbsp
Salt = 1/4 to 1/2 tsp
FOR COCONUT FLOUR OPTION
Unsalted Butter (softened) = 113 g / 1/2 cup (You can use vegan butter for dairy free option)
Coconut Flour = 60 g / 1/2 cup
Monk fruit = 40 g / 3 1/4 tbsp (You can also use any keto friendly powdered sweetener)
Fresh Lemon Juice = 4 tsp
Lemon Extract = 1 tsp
Lemon Zest = 1 tbsp / zest from 1 lemon
Salt = 1/4 tsp
(Note: This recipe yields 12 cookies at 20 g each. The cookies needs to be baked for 10 to 12 minutes only to prevent burning. The texture is softer, drier and grittier.)
LEMON GLAZE
Powdered sweetener = 5 tbsp
Fresh lemon juice = 1 tbsp
(Note: Just mix together until you get the right consistency. If too runny, add more powdered sweetener. If too thick, add more lemon juice. This is only a small amount so please adjust accordingly if you need more.)
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 340F or 170C
2. In a bowl, whisk the butter and sweetener until creamy and pale in color.
3. Add the lemon juice, lemon extract and whisk to combine.
4. Add the flour, salt, lemon zest and mix with a spatula until a dough is formed.
5. Shape the dough into a ball.
6. Portion the dough into 20 g each then shape into balls and use any kitchen utensils to make patterns. In the video, I used a mini masher (you can use a fork too), meat mallet and egg whisk which makes beautiful designs. You can also use thumbprint design and decorate with unsweetened dried cranberries. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. The dough will not spread much during baking, so you do not have to leave a huge gap in between. This recipe makes about 22 of these cookies at 20 g each.
7. Bake at the middle rack for 10 to 12 minutes for a softer texture and 13 to 17 minutes for a crispier texture. For a crispier texture, it is best to make the dough flatter. For a softer or melt-in-the mouth texture, it's fine to have a thicker dough. It is best to set a digital timer at certain intervals to check on the cookies to avoid burning them.
8. Cool for about 5 minutes then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will firm up once completely cooled.
9. Store in an airtight container. These cookies can be kept at room temperature up to a few weeks. They can be chilled and taste great out of the fridge or freezer.
10. The dough can also be frozen and baked at any time.
11. For the lemon glaze, it is best to make the round and flat cookies. Shape the dough into a log then roll over with the parchment paper. Use a kitchen towel core for support. Secure with a rubber band and freeze for 1 hour or until hardened.
12. Once hardened, remove the dough and cut into 1/4 inch thick. Place on a baking tray with parchment paper. The dough will spread slightly so leave a bit of gap in between. This recipe makes about 26 of these cookies.
14. Follow the same instructions above for baking.
15. Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle with the lemon glaze, if using.
16. Please note that in the video, I showed you 2 methods of shaping the dough. I actually made two of these recipes to be able to do that. It is not based on one recipe.
