Healthy Lemon Shortbread Cookies
Made without the white flour, white sugar, butter, and shortening, these Healthy Lemon Shortbread Cookies won't weigh you down. Even though they're sweet and buttery rich, they're very light and refreshing. They're sugar free, gluten free, and vegan too!
Ingredients
- 180g (1½ cups) Oat Flour
- 96g (½ cup) Granulated Erythritol
- 1 tsp Double-Acting Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 112g (½ cup) Coconut Oil (melted)
- 60g (¼ cup) Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (room temperature)
- 4 tsp Lemon Zest
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tsp Natural Butter Flavor
- 1 tsp Liquid Stevia Extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oat flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
- In a stand mixer bowl with beater attachment, add the coconut oil, almond milk, lemon zest, vanilla extract, butter flavor, and stevia extract. Mix on low speed until completely mixed.
- Dump the dry ingredients into the stand mixer and mix until completely mixed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Roll ⅓ of the dough in between two silicone baking sheets until ~⅛" thick. Use a 2" circle cookie cutter to punch circles into the dough. Peel away the dough surrounding the circle shapes, putting the dough back into the stand mixer bowl, and transfer the silicone sheet with the circles onto a cookie tray.
- Bake for ~12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Carefully transfer the silicone sheet onto your counter or a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Keep re-rolling the dough and baking until all the dough is used up.
