Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 2 cups almond flour Super Fine
- ¾ cup ricotta cheese room temperature, whole milk
- ¾ cup Monk Fruit Sweetener or allulose
- ¼ cup oat fiber
- ¼ cup butter room temperature, unsalted
- 1 egg room temperature, whole
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Lemon Glaze
- ½ cup monk fruit powder aka allulose
- 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
Instructions
To Make the Cookies
- Add the butter, ricotta and sweetener to a mixing bowl. Whip using a hand mixer until fluffy.
- Add in the egg, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla, then continue mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, add in the almond flour, oat fiber baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine, then pour it into the wet ingredients.
- Mix just until combined, but don’t over mix it. Cover and chill dough in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Using a cookie scooper, scoop out the dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space at least 1 inch apart to allow for slight spreading. They won’t actually spread too much.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cooked through and slightly golden. Set them on a cooling rack to cool completely before making the glaze.
To Make the Lemon Glaze
- Add the sweetener, heavy cream and most of the lemon juice to a mixing bowl.
- Whisk to combine and add in more lemon juice if needed to get the consistency you want. You are looking for a thicker glaze that is slightly runny.
- Once the cookies have cooled completely, add some of the glaze over the top, then place them back on the cooking rack to set before serving.
Notes
- Makes 32 cookies, serving size 2 cookies
