These Lemon Sandwich Cookies are bright, zesty, and perfectly sweet, filled with a tangy homemade lemon curd. They are vegan, gluten-free, and ideal for a light dessert or afternoon treat.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Lemon Curd Filling:
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric (for color, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix together almond flour, tapioca flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together maple syrup, melted coconut oil, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients to form a dough.
  5. Roll dough into small balls, flatten slightly, and place on baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  7. While cookies bake, prepare the lemon curd. In a small saucepan, whisk together lemon juice, zest, maple syrup, cornstarch, coconut milk, and turmeric (if using).
  8. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 5–8 minutes). Let cool and refrigerate to set.
  9. Once cookies and curd are cooled, spread a small amount of curd on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another.
  10. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • The lemon curd thickens more as it cools; chill for best texture before assembling.
  • These cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Use turmeric sparingly—it’s for color only and too much can affect flavor.
