Almond Lemon Cookies Recipe

Chewy lemon almond flour sugar cookies are soft with a tart, bright taste thanks to fresh lemon juice and zest. Made with simple ingredients and not a lot of sugar, you can also make these cookies vegan!

The whole apartment smelled like fresh citrus while these cookies were baking thanks to the grated lemon zest infused into every bite. Made with just a few simple ingredients, you won’t believe how soft and chewy these healthy lemon cookies turn out to be!

Their bright and sunshiny vibes definitely makes me think of the spring, and are for sure helping to brighten up the grey of winter right about now.

Chewy Lemon Almond Flour Sugar Cookies

Almond flour is the primary flour used in these soft lemon sugar cookies. I don’t recommend substituting the flours as nut flour are not a 1:1 substitute for grain based flours. Plus the hint of almond flavor from the almond flour really complements the lemon flavor so well.

Part of the citrus family, lemons are a good source of vitamin C and plant compounds that give them a number of health benefits. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps strengthen our immune system, something we could all use a little more of in the winter, no?!

Although drinking lemon water isn’t a miracle fat burner or weight loss tactic, I do like drinking hot lemon water as a way to stay hydrated, especially in the winter.

So many dishes benefits from the punchy, bright flavor gives to anything you squeeze it on. One of my favorites is definitely this chicken lemon rice soup!

Here’s everything you will need and as mentioned above, I don’t recommend substituting the flours as nut flours and grain flours are not a 1:1 equivalent.

Making these tart lemon sugar cookies is easy! All you need to do is whisk the ingredients together, let the dough cool and roll them into balls to bake. To original recipe called for mixing everything using a mixer, but I’ve retested and found that was not necessary.

Lemon Almond Flour Cookies

We’re celebrating the first day of SPRING (eek!) with a recipe that is absolutely one of my favorites yet.  And oh-so-springy, of course!

Chewy paleo + vegan lemon almond cookies that are so full of flavor, have perfect texture (yes perfect!) and will basically rock your paleo world in all ways possible.   In other words, get ready for a serious treat!

Way back when I stumbled upon a basic paleo + vegan cookie recipe completely by accident.  I was trying to make cookie dough, failed, and decided to add a flax egg, bake, and see what happened.

Italienische Mandelkekse Mit Zitrone

What came out of that experiment was these chewy “oatmeal” raisin cookies – and that was the beginning of a whole bunch of paleo + vegan chewy cookies that are seriously my favorite cookies ever.

From the original ones, to these cranberry orange chocolate chip ones, apple cinnamon, and double chocolate chip mint cookies, I keep the basics, switch up the flavor, and I’m never disappointed!

I guess based on how much I’m raving, you can guess that these chewy almond cookies are no exception, and you’re totally right.  These are cookies you can confidently serve to non-paleo eaters and know they’d never know the difference!

Healthy Lemon Cookies With Almond Flour

One note regarding the flaxseed egg.  With all my cookies recipes that use flaxseed “eggs”, there is typically an option to use an egg yolk if you don’t wish to make them vegan.  While that still technically holds here, I highly recommend you try them with the flax egg.

The moisture, chewiness, and overall texture is just superior when you use the flaxseed instead of an egg yolk.  If you do wind up using the yolk, I recommend pressing the cookies down before baking, since they won’t spread as much.  The dough most likely will not need to be chilled either if you use an egg yolk.

If you’re holding back on using the flax egg because it’s strange and intimidating – no worries – it’s actually extremely simple and requires no work.

Lemon And Almond Ricotta Biscuits

All you need to do is place 1 tbsp flaxseed meal and 2.5 tbsp water in a small bowl before you begin and allow it to sit there while you prepare the dry ingredients and preheat your oven.  Yup, it’s that simple!

As the mixture sits, it thickens and forms a consistency similar to that of an egg, and, you whisk it into the wet ingredients just as if it were one.

Okay, looks like we’re ready to get started with these cookies – I can’t wait for you to try them!  And, I also can’t wait for some REAL spring weather over the next few weeks (wishful thinking!)

*Although I highly recommend using the flaxseed egg, you can also sub in an egg-yolk if you prefer.  If you use an egg-yolk, you'll need to gently press the cookies down right before baking since they won't spread as much.

Making gluten free recipes requires that you use something in place of traditional all-purpose flour. Almond flour is often the choice for me.

Almond flour is a great nut flour to use in gluten free baking. It is readily available in grocery stores. It’s also a mild tasting flour that blends well in cookie recipes.
