How do I make Keto Lemon Cookies?

These cookies are your basic sugar cookie that is made from creaming together butter and sugar substitute before adding the remaining ingredients. This is what creates that great soft, buttery texture signature to sugar cookies. To make these easy Lemon Cookies you will need to follow these steps:

• Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar substitute. Next add the lemon ingredients, egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, xanthan gum and salt. Carefully add the almond flour mixture to the butter mixture, while the mixer is running, until combined. 
• Next, fold in the white chocolate chips and nuts. Chill the dough at least 1 hour.
• Scoop the cookie dough onto a silicone lined baking sheet, slightly flatted, and bake 15-18 minutes at 350 degrees F.

How to Store White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

To store these keto cookies, just place into a plastic or glass container with an airtight lid (or a plastic bag) and keep on the counter. Here’s a great tip- to keep your cookies soft, store them with a piece of sliced bread. The bread will absorb the moisture. These cookies will stay fresh for up to one week.

Tips and Tricks for the Best Lemon Cookies

• Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor
• Use room temperature eggs
• Don’t skip refrigerating your dough for an hour! This step is critical for making sure the cookies don’t flatten out when they’re being baked
• Use almond flour in this recipe- I do not recommend using a different type of flour
