Low Carb Lemon Cookies Recipe – Easy Keto Cookies With Coconut Flour, Sugar Free and Gluten Free too – Simple Low Carb Baking Recipes.
Low Carb Lemon Cookies Recipe
If you’re a fan of lemon sweet treats then you’re going to love these luscious keto lemon cookies. They are sweetened with stevia and flavored with real lemon zest and juice and are naturally low in net carbs. Perfect for fans of all things lemon to satisfy their sweet tooth.
If you haven’t worked with coconut flour before then you may be surprised that cookies need so little flour.
But, you’ll find that coconut flour is incredibly absorbent and that half a cup is the perfect volume for these low carb lemon cookies.
You can boost the flavor of the lemon cookie recipe by adding in half a teaspoon to a teaspoon of lemon extract, in addition to the fresh lemons, or vanilla extract or make a quick lemon glaze to cover the baked cookies with.
How To Make Keto Cookies With Coconut Flour
Preparing the delicious lemon cookies is really easy – you simply melt the butter, pour it into a large bowl and mix through the low-carb diet approved ingredients, one at a time.
Then you place the cookie dough onto a prepared baking tray before baking until golden. You can feel free to sprinkle macadamia nuts over the lemon keto cookies.
I’ve used stevia in place of regular sugar in the sugar-free cookies, but you can feel free to swap that for monk fruit sweetener, an erythritol blend, a low carb powdered sweetener such as powdered erythritol or any other sugar substitute you’d like that you usually include in delicious keto recipes.
You can enjoy the cookies as is or sandwiched together with whipped cream, cream cheese or even with chocolate whipped cream frosting. (Click here for the recipe!)
