Simple Lemon Cookies for Santa! Low-Carb & made with coconut flour.
I did like them much better after they cooled. This recipe is easy to half, as well, if you just want to make a few. I hope you enjoy these! I am looking forward to getting more creative with some coconut flour cookie recipes in the future, but thought these simple little treats would be just right for your low-carb Santa! I hope you all have a great holiday.
Low-Carb Gluten-Free Simple Coconut Flour Lemon Cookies
Makes about 2 dozen. Carbs: 0.9 (effective) each, 22.2 ECC whole batch.
4 eggs
1/2 cup erythritol
1/4 teaspoon of powdered Stevia, or 1/2 teaspoon of NuNaturals Brand
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup melted butter or coconut oil
3/4 cup sifted coconut flour
parchment paper
Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Combine erythritol, stevia powder, lemon extract, salt, and butter, and mix well. Add eggs one at a time, and beat after each addition. Stir in sifted coconut flour. Let batter rest about 5 minutes to thicken it slightly. Drop batter in spoon sized mounds 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Smash with fingers a bit to flatten each one. Bake for 15 minutes.
Wow these look and sound tasty! I can't wait to give them a try and start experimenting with coconut flour. They will definitely make a great healthier alternative to the usual sweet treats :) - Cathy Pieroz at Ray White Alexandra Hills
