• Using a medium cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons), scoop dough.

• Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until middle is set and edges are set. Centers should look soft and underdone.

COCONUT FLOUR LEMON COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine butter, sweetener, lemon extract, liquid stevia, and salt in a large bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating briefly after each addition. Stir in coconut flour. Let dough rest until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet by rounded spoonfuls, spacing them 2 inches apart. Press almonds into the tops, flattening each cookie slightly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 15 minutes.

LEMON-COCONUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition. Mix in lemon juice. Mix flour, coconut, cream of tartar, baking soda, lemon zest, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to butter mixture and beat on low speed until everything is well mixed, about 2 minutes.
• Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto 2 ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

LEMON COCONUT DROP SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Pulse the coconut shreds in a food processor or chop them up with a sharp knife so they are finer. Smaller pieces make a more desirable texture in the baked cookies. Set aside for next step.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, coconut extract, and lemon zest and then beat on medium-high speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine. Add the lemon juice, salt, coconut, and flour and beat on medium speed until combined. The dough may not come together at first, but keep mixing until it does. The cookie dough will be thick.
• Cover the cookie dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and up to 3 days. (If chilling for 2+ hours, let the cookie dough sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling into balls. The cookie dough will be very stiff after being in the refrigerator that long.)
• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
• Roll the cookie dough into balls, about 1 Tablespoon of dough each, and place dough balls 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. If the cookie dough is too crumbly, keep rolling and working it with your hands. The warmth of your hands will help bring it together.
• Bake the cookies until lightly browned around the bottom edges, about 14-15 minutes.
• Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a wire rack. Make sure cookies are cool to the touch before dipping in icing.
• Whisk all of the glaze ingredients together in a medium bowl. If desired, add more confectioners' sugar to thicken or more milk to thin out. Dip cookies in icing or drizzle on top. If desired, garnish with coconut, sprinkles, and/or lemon zest. If coated lightly, the icing will set after 2 hours.
• Cover leftover iced cookies tightly and store at room temperature for 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Cookies without icing can sit covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.

LEMON COCONUT COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter with the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy and beat in the zest, the vanilla, and the lemon extract. Add the flour and the salt, beat the mixture until it forms a dough, and stir in the coconut. Chill the dough for 1 hour, or until it is firm enough to handle. Halve the dough and on a sheet of wax paper form each half into an 8-inch log, using the wax paper as a guide. Chill the logs, wrapped in the wax paper, for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 300°F. Cut the logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices with a sharp knife and arrange the slices 2 inches apart on lightly butter baking sheets. Bake the cookies in the middle of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are pale golden, transfer them to racks, and sprinkle them generously with some of the confectioners' sugar. Let the cookies cool and dust them lightly with the remaining confectioners' sugar.
