Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Stir the room-temperature butter with 1/4 cup erythritol into a smooth, frosting-like base. 0:18
- Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice and 8–10 drops of stevia and stir together; it may look curdled at first. 0:46
- Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt and mix until the dough is sandy and clumps together. 1:42
- Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Scoop and roll the dough into balls on a lined baking sheet; chill the dough for 10 minutes first if it is too soft to roll. 2:22
- Bake 10–14 minutes, until just golden on top but still soft. Let them cool completely, 15–30 minutes. 2:55
- For the glaze, put the powdered erythritol in a bowl and add lemon juice a teaspoon at a time until thick and glossy. 3:30
- Dip the tops of the cooled cookies in the glaze (or pipe it on). Store them in the fridge. 4:04
Tip. Use powdered erythritol for the glaze, or it turns grainy. The cook's scoop made 12 larger cookies (they took 16 minutes); the written recipe makes 20 small ones.

Magnesium7%
27 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (82%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.
Selenium5%
2.5 µg a serve, mostly from egg (51%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Zinc4%
0.4 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (64%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Vitamin A4%
38 µg a serve, mostly from butter (84%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Potassium3%
120 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (52%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Iron3%
0.5 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (60%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Calcium2%
27 mg a serve, mostly from almond flour (82%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Vitamin C2%
1.6 mg a serve, mostly from lemon juice (41%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Folate2%
7.7 µg a serve, mostly from almond flour (48%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.
Vitamin B122%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg (83%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Vitamin B62%
0 mg a serve, mostly from coconut flour (43%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin D1%
0.2 µg a serve, mostly from egg (57%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Omega-31%
0 g a serve, mostly from butter (83%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Vitamin K0%
0.3 µg a serve, mostly from butter (96%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
