Ingredients
- 10 g stevia
- zest of ½ lemon
- 10 ml lemon juice
- 5 ml olive oil or oil of choice
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 32 g plain/all-purpose flour
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, rub together the lemon zest and stevia until well combined. The stevia should take on a slightly yellow hue.
- Add the lemon juice, oil and vanilla and whisk to combine. Add the flour and baking soda and fold to combine.
- Divide the dough equally between 3 cookie balls, place onto the prepared baking tray, flatten each cookie dough ball slightly and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy
Notes
*Stevia - The stevia I use is a 1:2 ratio of stevia to sugar - this means this recipe would require 20g of sugar. Bear this in mind if your sweetener isn't a 1:1 ratio of sweetener to sugar.
