Ingredients

For the cookies:

• 1 1/3 cups (133 grams) blanched almond flour
• 2 tablespoons (17 grams) coconut flour, sifted if lumpy

• 1/4 cup (63 grams) coconut butter (NOT coconut oil!), softened but not melted

• 1 tablespoon (14 grams) refined coconut oil, softened but not melted
• 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon (or more) lemon zest
• 1/8 - 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract (the amount will depend on your brand of extract and how lemony you want them)
• pinch of salt
