Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1 large (50g) egg
- 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (6g) lemon zest
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) almond flour
- 1 cup (140g) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1/4 cup (30g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (2g) lemon zest
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
- Transfer the dough to the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, combine the powdered sugar and 1 tsp lemon zest in a small bowl.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of chilled dough, roll into a 1-inch ball, and roll generously in the lemon-sugar mixture until heavily coated.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared sheets and bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are set and the tops have a cracked appearance.
