Lemon Almond Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
