Chewy Lemon Cookies

These soft chewy cookies are grain free, dairy free, and use applesauce as the main sweetener (+ a little coconut sugar ) and have a fun little zing from the lemon flavor. They’re the perfect bright cookie for spring and summer, and are a light and fluffy treat. Typically I’d use lemon zest for a cookie like this, but I went with lemon juice and it was incredible! If you prefer to use zest, I included the substitution below.

Ingredients

1/2 cup applesauce⁣
1/4 cup coconut oil⁣
1 tsp vanilla⁣ extract
1 egg⁣
2 cups almond flour⁣
1/4 cup coconut sugar⁣
1 tsp baking powder⁣
2 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice (or 1 1/2 tsp lemon zest) ⁣

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350. Combine all the wet ingredients except lemon juice, then stir in the dry. Add the lemon juice and mix well. Drop into cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 17-20 minutes. Enjoy!
