Lemonade, in cookie form!

These cookies are like little solid drops of bright citrusy lemonade on your tongue! They are chewy and moist, topped with a lemonade 3-ingredient glaze.

Fresh lemon juice or bottled?

While I can’t argue with the convenience of bottled lemon juice, there is nothing like a cookie baked fresh using fresh squeezed lemon juice. That being said, if you only have bottled, use that and make the recipe anyway!

Gluten & dairy free…

When I first went gluten free most of the gluten free recipes I tried for cookies resulted in crumbly dry cookies and I hated that! I knew there had to be a way to make gluten free cookies moist and dense just like other cookies. These lemonade cookies sure are tender and moist, thanks to a unique combination of ingredients, and using egg, which helps give the cookie body and holds everything together nicely. I also like the addition of powdered coconut sugar, which helps give the cookie that chewy texture. To make this powdered coconut sugar simply put 1/8 cup coconut sugar into a blender along with 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder.

Dipped it!

Three ingredient lemon glaze – powdered coconut sugar, lemon juice & a dash of plant milk, is the perfect topper to these lemonade gems.

Method

Make the Cookies

    • Combine ingredients from the egg, through​ lemon juice and mix on high 2 minutes.
    • In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients for the cookies, mix well.
    • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones.
    • Mix well.
    • Put into the refrigerator to firm up dough for 20 minutes.
    • Scoop using a small ice cream scoop onto parchment lined baking sheet. 
    • Bake for 13 minutes, or until edges are just becoming light brown.
    • Cool on cookie sheet.

Make the Lemon Glaze

    • Combine sifted powdered coconut sugar and lemon juice.
    • Mix.
    • Slowly, add a few drops of milk, stirring as you go. This glaze will thin out fast, so add only a few drops at a time, until you have your desired consistency.
    • Once the cookies have completely cooled, dip the rounded tops in the glaze. 
    • Enjoy!
    To make powdered coconut sugar: place coconut sugar in blender along with 1 teaspoon arrowroot powder. Blend until a powder forms.

Note

Store these lovely treats in an air tight container. If you store them in the refrigerator they will last longer. I love how they taste cold, right out of the chill chest!
