Ingredients
  

Cookie:

Lemon Curd Filling:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 large lemons)
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp gelatin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  • In a large bowl whisk together your almond flour, coconut flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
  • Add in your eggs, vanilla, and butter. Mix until everything is smooth and well combined.
  • Roll about 2 tbs of dough into a ball and place on your baking sheet, flatten slightly until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough leaving at least 3 inches in between cookies.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges just start to brown. When they are fresh out of the oven, using the back of a tbs measure make a dent in the middle of your cookie for your lemon curd.
  • While your cookies cool make your lemon curd. Start by completely melting your butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once butter is melted stir in your sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice.
  • Once all of your sugar is melted, continually whisking, slowly add in one yolk at time while whisking. Continue to whisk until your mix slightly thickens 5-10 minutes.
  • Pour your lemon curd through a mesh strainer into a bowl and quickly whisk in your xanthan gum and gelatin until smooth. Allow mixture to cool for 5-10 minutes on your counter.
  • While your lemon curd cools, coat your cooled cookies with powdered sugar.
  • Carefully and slowly pour your lemon curd into the dent in your cookies and allow to set for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
