Lemon Almond Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract (or 1 tablespoon lemon zest for a more intense flavor)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for a slightly puffier texture)
• A pinch of salt (if using unsalted butter)
• 1 large egg (optional, for better binding)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, and baking powder (if using). Add the softened butter and lemon extract (or zest). Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Form Dough: If the dough is too crumbly, add the egg to help bind it together. Mix thoroughly until the dough comes together.
4. Shape Cookies: Take small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball gently with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The center might appear soft, but it will firm up as it cools.
6. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
