Soft Lemon Cookies (Gluten-Free)

Why I love this recipe!

These Paleo Lemon Cookies are so soft and delicious! You only need a few simple ingredients, and about ten minutes of prep time.  They have an almond flour base which makes them naturally gluten-free, and they're also dairy-free thanks to coconut oil!

Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes. You'll know they're ready when the bottom is golden brown, and the top starts to have small cracks.

"My favorite cookie recipe to date! Everyone in my family loves them. I usually triple the recipe and sub the coconut sugar for a 1/2 cup of monkfruit sweetener and they’re great! I also like to add in some poppy seeds or top them with a few frozen blueberries before baking to change things up. Highly recommend!"
