Gluten Free Lemon Glazed Cookies
Gluten free & dairy free cookies that are packed with lemon flavor. So easy to make and they stay fresh for a week or more!
Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 270 grams almond flour
- 210 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Zest of two lemons
- 2 egg whites about 60 grams, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon honey
For the Glaze:
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 3 to 4 teaspoons lemon juice more or less to reach your desired consistency
Instructions
Make the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- In a medium bowl, add the almond flour, powdered sugar, salt and lemon zest. Whisk to combine and make sure that there are no lumps. (You can sift it if you choose.)
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites and the honey with a whisk until frothy (about 30 seconds).
- Pour the frothy egg white mixture into the almond flour mixture. Mix with a spatula until well combined. The mixture is very thick. Just keep mixing and pressing together until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, make balls of cookie dough and roll in your hands to make smooth balls. Placed on a lined cookie sheet and press down slightly to flatten.
- Bake for 16 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Check the cookies at about 14-15 minutes and adjust the baking time as needed. All ovens are different! Cool completely.
Make the Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and the lemon juice until smooth. The glaze should be runny.
- Dip the cookies top down in the glaze and allow the excess to drain off into the bowl. Place face up on a wire cooling rack to dry.
- Store airtight for up to a week.
