Light Lemon Cookies made with Raw Cashews and Flaked Coconut are perfectly delicious! The best part is they have good for you ingredients and no dairy or grains in them. In fact, I am liking all these ingredients so much, I am having a hard time not giving the green light to eat these for breakfast!
Cashew Lemon Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350º degrees F. Lay out parchment lined cookie sheets.
Ingredients:
1 Cup of Raw Cashews
1/4 Cup of Coconut Flour (I used this)
1/4 Cup of Olive Oil
3 Tablespoons of Pure Maple Syrup (substitute honey for SCD Legal)
1 Pastured Egg
1/2 Teaspoon of Sea Salt
1/2 Teaspoon of Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
Zest of one Lemon
1/4 Cup of No Sugar added Finely Shredded Coconut (like this)
Directions:
In a food processor with a blade attachment, add the Raw Cashews and pulse until you have fine crumbs. Add the coconut flour. Pulse again until you have a flour consistency. Add in the Maple Syrup, Olive Oil, Egg, Vanilla, Lemon Zest, Salt and Baking Soda. Blend until you get a creamy dough that starts to form a ball in the processor.
Using a tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the dough into balls. Roll the balls in shredded coconut, pressing the coconut into the balls of dough. Flatten each ball onto your cookie sheet until they are approximately 1/2 inch thick. Bake in the oven for 11 minutes or until the edges are turning golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack.
Yummy. I love Lemon!!!
