There’s just something that’s so refreshing when lemon is added to just about anything.
To make these soft lemon cookies, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients. Here’s what you will be using to make them: almond flour,cream of tartar, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt, butter, sweetener, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice
I love using cream of tartar in certain cookie recipes as it helps the cookies to rise more and helps gives a more lighter texture.
