Description

Imagine sinking your teeth into a tender cookie, its delicate crumb yielding to a burst of bright, citrusy lemon and the subtle warmth of almond. These treats offer a delightful chewy texture, with a soft interior that practically melts in your mouth. Each bite evokes a comforting, homemade sensation.

They possess a rich, buttery essence, achieved without the use of any animal-derived ingredients, making them a perfect choice for anyone seeking a plant-based indulgence. The cookies have a slightly flaky exterior, adding a delightful textural contrast to the moist interior. To elevate the experience, a luscious lemon glaze blankets each cookie, its sweetness complementing the nutty undertones and adding a touch of sophisticated tang.

The glaze glistens invitingly, promising a burst of flavor with every nibble. While the recipe allows for omission of any butter flavoring, allowing the natural flavor of almond to shine, it should be considered that it contributes to the overall richness. The almond butter provides a subtle nutty depth that harmonizes beautifully with the vibrant lemon.

These cookies are ideal for enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee, as a sweet ending to a meal, or simply as a delightful afternoon treat. Their relatively small size makes them perfect for portion control, allowing you to savor the moment without overindulging. They’re also a wonderful addition to any gathering, offering a sophisticated and inclusive dessert option.

For optimal freshness, these cookies should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they will remain delectable for up to three days. If you prefer a softer texture, simply allow them to sit at room temperature for a short time before enjoying. This will allow the glaze to soften and the cookie to regain some of its initial tenderness.

Instructions

    1.
    Combine almond butter, coconut oil, and powdered erythritol in a stand mixer. Use a paddle attachment to blend the ingredients into a creamy mixture. Next, blend the flavoring extracts and liquid stevia into the mixture. In a separate bowl, mix together almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca flour, salt, and lemon zest. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the cookie dough comes together.
    2.
    Chill the cookie dough in your refrigerator for 15 minutes before continuing. Then, scoop the dough into 1-tablespoon portions and arrange them on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Leave the cookies in a scooped dome shape, but gently press them down onto the paper. Return the tray of cookies to your refrigerator to chill for another 15 minutes before baking.
    3.
    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees. Bake the chilled cookies in the oven for about 17 minutes or until the edges are browned and the centers of the cookies feel dry but spongy. While the cookies cool, make the lemon glaze. Combine almond milk, swerve, and lemon zest in a small pot on the stove.
    4.
    Cook the almond milk until it’s bubbling while continually whisking it over medium heat. Let the almond milk continue cooking until it reduces to a glaze, which will only be a couple of tablespoons. Leave the glaze alone for a few minutes to thicken, then spoon the warm glaze over the cookies. Let the cookies set and fully cool before eating.
