Revitalizing Lemon Almond Cookies

SERVES 12

INGREDIENTS:

¾ cup almond flour

¾ cup coconut flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 egg

3 tablespoons raw honey

¼ cup coconut oil, melted

zest and juice of 1 lemon

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

¼ cup slivered almonds

PREPARATION:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Combine dry ingredients—the flours, baking soda, and salt—in a bowl, and whisk.

3. Combine wet ingredients—the egg, honey, coconut oil, lemon zest and juice, and vanilla extract—and stir until thoroughly combined. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms. The dough will be very thick.

4. Form into 12 equal-sized cookies and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press dough down to flatten with the back of a spoon dipped in water. Place several almond slivers on top of each cookie.

5. Bake about 8 to 10 minutes depending on desired crispness.

6. Allow to cool and set for a few minutes before serving.
