Ingredients in Gluten Free Lemon Cookies

  • Butter
  • Brown Sugar
  • Sugar
  • Lemon Zest
  • Lemon Juice
  • One Egg + One Egg Yolk
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Oat Flour
  • Gluten Free Flour Blend

Steps to Make Gluten Free Lemon Cookies

  1. First, mix the dough. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and eggs. Then, beat in the baking soda, salt, oat flour, and gluten free flour blend. Stir in the white chocolate chips.
  2. Next, refrigerate the dough. This will allow the dry ingredients to absorb moisture from the wet ingredients. It also allows the butter to re-solidify, which keeps the cookies from spreading in the oven. Refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Then, scoop and roll the cookies. Spoon cookie dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. For uniformity, use a cookie scoop and roll the dough into balls. Then, bake at 350 degrees for 8-11 minutes, until beginning to brown. Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes on the baking sheet before moving to a cooling rack.

Best Lemon Glaze or Drizzle

The flavor of these cookies is terrific, but sometimes I like to add a little extra!

2 Tbsp. butter, melted

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

2/3 c. powdered sugar

The secret to the BEST glaze is to add some melted butter! It completely takes the taste to the next level! Trust me! Whisk everything together until a thick glaze forms. Then, drizzle over the cookies.
