Description

Ingredients

• 6 Tbl butter
• 2 cups almond flour
• ⅓ cup granulated sweetener (Splenda, Ideal, Swerve, etc.)
• 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest

Directions

• Melt the butter in the microwave or a small saucepan. Add the almond flour, sweetener, and lemon zest, stirring until fully combined.
• To make a tart or pie crust:
• No need to pre-chill, just press dough into tart or pie tins. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees (F) for 15 mins until firm and golden brown.
• To make the cookies:
• Form dough (it will be crumbly, this is normal) into a cylinder and wrap tightly with plastic wrap to compress. Chill in freezer for 30 minutes or until firm, or in the refrigerator for 2 hours. With a sharp knife, slice into ½ inch thick cookies (if they crumble apart your dough isnt cold enough). Bake in a preheated oven @ 350 degrees (F) on a greased or parchment lined cookie sheet for 15 minutes, or until firm and golden brown. Allow to cool before removing.
