Description
My whole family are huge lemon fans. Literally lemon anything...chicken, cakes, cookies. My kids drown their fish and salmon in lemon! So, when I was trying to think of a cookie flavour I couldn't go past lemon and I think white chocolate pairs so well with itn.
These really are delicious and if your family are anything like mine, you will have to hide them from their little hands!
This recipe makes 15 decent sized cookies at 0.9g net carbs each. The first time I tested the recipe I made smaller cookies (a leveled tablespoon amount for each cookie) and I got 21 cookies out of that. I personally felt like they were a little too small but you could definitely do that if you prefer a smaller cookie. I would take them out of the oven after 15 minutes.
A little about the ingredients for you:
Almond meal - I used Lucky Almond Meal which can be found in most supermarkets. For cookies I prefer the blanched almond meal rather than the natural, skin on one mostly because of the colour however I also find the skin on almond meal a little gritty at times.
Sukrin Monkfruit - I like Sukrin's sweeteners however any granulated white keto sweetener will work.
Coconut Oil - I use extra virgin cold pressed coconut oil when I cook. You could also use butter in place of the coconut oil.
Eggs - I always use large eggs at home and at room temperature.
Lemon Juice - you can't go past fresh lemons but at $2 a lemon in Perth cooking with them can become quite expensive. If you prefer to buy bottled lemon juice, I recommend Lemon Fresh which is available at some bottleshops and Coles. It's 100% lemon juice, nothing else.
Lemon rind - lemon rind increases the lemon flavour even more. If you are using bottled lemon juice you can just leave the rind out.
Gelatin - gelatin is a great source of collegan and also helps to give the cookies a nice chewy texture. The cookies will still work without gelatin if you prefer not to use it, they will just have a slightly different texture. I used Nutra Organics Gelatin.
Baking Soda - also known as bicarbonate soda and helps the cookies to rise and gives them a lighter texture.
Vitawerx White Chocolate - Vitawerx is my go to chocolate for keto. They are really tasty and only contain natural sweeteners. You can, of course, use any white chocolate you like instead.

Break the white chocolate into a microwave proof bowl and add the coconut oil. Microwave in 30 sec bursts and stir until melted.
Dip a teaspoon into the chocolate and wave over the top of each cookie to drizzle the chocolate over. Alternatively, you could dip each cookie in and coat half of the cookie.
