Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond flour Provides structure and tenderness
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour Soaks up moisture to prevent spread
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup erythritol Sugar substitute
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened Should be at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice Freshly squeezed is best
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest Enhances flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a medium bowl, stir together almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and erythritol until evenly distributed.
Combine Wet Ingredients
  1. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter with lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and egg until glossy and somewhat loose.
Bring Wet and Dry Together
  1. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until a cohesive dough forms. If too wet, add almond flour gradually until it holds shape.
Portion and Bake
  1. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
  2. Let cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
