8' @ 350F oiled foiled cookie sheet, cool on paper towels

Shortbread

Mix together into bowl

  • 2 c almond flour
  • 1/4 c sugar
  • 1/4 c melted coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 T lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
  • 1/3 tsp salt (optional)
Make into log in plastic wrap, slice into cookies, shape with hands if needed, bake

Lemon Glaze Topping
  • 1 c powdered sugar
Slowly add 
  • 4-5 Tbsp lemon juice
to try to keep lumps from forming. However if lumps form, just strain through sieve.

Microwave in 1' increments until slightly thickened, then used to glaze top of cooled cookies.

Note: I think a 100% almond flour shortbread cookie isn't as powdery as the one with almond flour combined with oatmeal and tapioca flour.
