Ingredients & Substitutions

  • Almond Flour โ€“ Almond flour is key to creating the soft and chewy texture of these cookies. It also adds a subtle nutty flavor.
  • Lemon Zest and Juice โ€“ This combo provides the bright lemony flavor. You definitely need fresh lemon for this one!
  • Avocado Oil โ€“ A neutral oil like avocado oil or vegetable oil works best. Avoid coconut oil as it can solidify and create uneven pockets of moisture.
  • Applesauce โ€“ Unsweetened applesauce replaces eggs and helps bind the cookies while keeping them moist.
  • Powdered Sugar โ€“ Rolling the cookies in powdered sugar before baking gives them their signature crinkle appearance and a touch of sweetness.
