Keto Lemon Cookies

 


Keto Lemon Cookies | Easy Lemon Glaze!

Lemon is one of my favorite summertime flavors because it can be light, refreshing and still indulgent. These Keto Lemon Cookies encompass all of that, plus they are low in carbs, so entirely guilt free! Check out the video down below to see how to make them step by steps.

Low Carb Cookies

Before converting to keto I was a cookie fanatic! My personal favorite were golden oreos and anything shortbread. Eating a sleeve of cookies with a glass of milk was standard for me throughout my childhood, so finding replacements has been my mission since day one.

Some must try’s from the dessert section of our food blog are:

2. Danish Style Butter Cookies (megha’s fave!)
3. Easy Thumbprint cookies (great for using up seasonal berries)
4. Air fryer Cookie (made for two and whips up quick!)
5. Keto Nutter Butters (Yes, Please!)

That’s just scratching the surface as far as cookies go. We’ve got lots more keto remakes and some you probably didn’t even know you needed in your life!

Why Are My Keto Cookies Crumbly?

This is a very common question that I can answer for you with two main reasons. I’ve made the mistake of making cookies with only coconut flour and found that they come out dry, dense and crumbly.

The second mistake that I’ve also made is not being patient and picky them up too quickly. It’s is crucial that you let your keto baked goods, whether it’s cookies and bread loafs, to cool entirely prior to handling. Almond and coconut flour don’t handle that same way you’re used to with a standard all purpose baking flour.

Cookies That Hold Their Shape

I find it interesting when I pull my keto dessert out of the oven and it has held it shape instead of spreading like I had expected. Sometimes that is the goal, such as with these keto lemon cookies, but often it’s not.

So, what in this particular recipe causes the keto cookies to keep their shape? Once you get familiar with keto baking it’s an easy spot. The ratio of almond flour to coconut flour is a lot higher than other baked goods you might have made in that past.

With a higher ratio of coconut flour (1:3) the cookies maintain their shape. Coconut flour on it’s own is very dry and absorbent yielding dense, crumbly baked good. However, in the case of these keto lemon cookies that’s a good thing because the cookie balls won’t spread when baking!

Quick And Easy Topping

Glaze and frosting can elevate any dessert to that next level of deliciousness. It’s also very easy to make and only ever requires two, at most 3 components.

This glaze for example is two ingredients and takes a couple minutes to whip up. It transforms these keto lemon cookies with no additional effort. Frosting is similar in ingredients and ease!

So, what does an easy topping come down to? Fat, plus sweetener, plus liquid of choosing (cream, water, nut milk). Sometimes you need just two and sometimes all three, but you can’t go wrong with a simple topping to your dessert!

Keto Lemon Cookies

Everyone needs an easy, summertime dessert in their arsenal and this is the one! The keto lemon cookies are bite sized for a quick grab and go treat and also freeze well so you can meal prep these for the week when cooking dinner is all you have time for. With or without the lemon glaze these keto lemon cookies are sure to satisfy that sweet and refreshing taste you crave during the summertime!
