Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch and salt.
Mix in the maple syrup, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice.
Roll the dough into a ball and flatten on a sheet of parchment paper. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top of the cookie dough and roll to about ¼ inch thick.
Use a circular cookie cutter to cut out shapes. I used a circular cookie cutter with a diameter of 2.5 inches and got 17 cookies.
Place the cut out cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place the cookies in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 8-12 minutes*
After baking, let the cookies cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
To make the icing, whisk together all icing ingredients.
Place the icing in a bowl that's slightly bigger than one cookie and dip the cookies into the icing, coating the entire top portion of the cookie.
Set the cookie on a flat surface and decorate before the icing has had time to set.

Notes

*Baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of your cookies, how thin you rolled the dough, temperature of your oven and the color/material of your baking sheet. So, you may want to bake a test batch (1-2 cookies) to get a good idea for the bake time before baking the entire batch.
