ingredients

3 cups almond flour

2 tablespoons arrowroot flour + some for rolling dough

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted & cooled

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

zest from one lemon

directions

preheat the oven to 350º

in a medium size mixing bowl combine almond flour, 2 tablespoons of arrowroot flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & lemon zest.  give it a quick stir.

add in {cooled} melted oil, maple syrup & lemon juice & mix well.  then add in vanilla, mix again.

cut 2 large sheets of parchment paper & sprinkle out a generous amount of arrowroot flour {about a heaping tablespoons worth}, spread it out & coat your hands with it.  

place cookie dough onto parchment & sprinkle with a bit more arrowroot flour.  lay the second sheet of parchment paper on top of the ball of dough & gently roll dough until you have flattened it out to about 1/2" thick.  {remember that almond flour cookies do not expand as much as regular ones do - they will only get slightly larger overall}  cut out cookies with a top of a glass or a cookie cutter {place a little bit of arrowroot flour on edge of cutter as needed}

bake 12-14 minutes, keeping a close eye on them so they don't get too brown.
