  • tsp vanilla extract
  • tbsp lemon juice  about 1/2 half a medium lemon

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl stir and combine the dry ingredients: almond flour, 1/3 cup powdered Swerve, baking powder, Gluccomannan powder (optional), and salt.
  • Add the lemon zest to the dry mixture.
  • Stir the wet ingredients to the dry mixture: Stir in the butter, vanilla, lemon juice, and egg. Dough will be soft.
  • When dough is well combined, dump it onto a sheet of plastic wrap and pat dough into a rectangle that is at least about an inch high using back of wooden spoon or clean hands and then wrap in plastic.
  • Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least an hour. (Can be chilled overnight, if desired.)
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a cookie sheet with baking parchment while the dough is chilling.
  • Cut chilled dough into 24 even pieces and roll into balls and place on prepared cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 11-13 minutes. Bake just until the bottom edge of cookies are beginning to brown.
  • Remove cookies from oven and while they are warm sprinkle with the 2 remaining tablespoons of powdered sweetener.  Allow cookies to cool before removing from pan.
