I have been thinking about making some version of lemon cookies for a while. 

Finally, I was feeling courageous, and I gave them a try.  When my mom came over, I gave her a few to try.  I hadn’t revealed the ingredients yet.  Then, simultaneously, she asked, “Did you put lemon in these cookies?” right as I was asking, “Did you taste my secret ingredient?”  They came out pretty good.  Hope you enjoy!  God bless!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of oatmeal
• 1 1/2 cups of almond flour
• 1 lemon or 3/4 cup of lemon juice or lemonade
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 1/3 cup of coconut flakes
• 2 tablespoons of flax seed meal
• 1/3 cup of sunflower seeds
• 1/3 cup of sliced almonds
• 3/4 cup of almond milk

Directions

• Grab a large bowl, mixing all of the above ingredients, making sure that you cut the lemon into four wedges, squeezing all of the juice into the mixture.
• Place parchment paper onto two cookie sheets.
• Scoop the mixture with a small ice-cream scooper, making sure that you press the sides of the scooper against the bowl in order to drain off excess liquid before placing the scoop on the parchment paper.
• Bake at 320 degrees for about 25 minutes.
• Enjoy!
