Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar plus more for rolling
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in coarse sugar to coat. Place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are just set but centers still look slightly soft. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
