Who doesn’t love a batch of bright, lemony cookies? These Paleo Lemon Drop Cookies are light, fluffy, and have just the right tang of lemon.

Coconut flour is the main base for these cookies, and if the dough seems too dry when mixed together in the bowl, add more coconut milk to dampen.

The cookies may also be rolled out and used with cookie cutters. The quick icing adds a bright and tart flavor to top the cookies!

Paleo Lemon Drop Cookies

Recipe by: PaleoHacks Team

These light and fluffy cookies are topped with a lemon zest icing for the ultimate citrus confection.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 t baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, room temperature
• 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1/2 t vanilla
• Juice from 1 lemon
• Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in 1/4 cup of honey, melted coconut oil, coconut milk, vanilla, and lemon juice and mix together until completely combined.
• Using your hands, roll about a tablespoon of the dough into small balls and place on the baking sheet. After all of the balls are formed, press down on each ball to form a flat cookie. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Place on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes before icing.
• Combine the icing ingredients (room temperature coconut oil, 1/4 cup of honey, lemon zest) in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread onto the cookies and serve.
