Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup allulose
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the glaze:
  • 2 tablespoons allulose
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, allulose, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, melted butter, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.

Making the Lemon Drizzle

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze. Mix the allulose and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cookies using a spoon or a piping bag. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
