So are these almond lemon cookies or are they butter cookies with almonds and lemon? I\u2019m not sure. I think they should just be called \u201cdelicious\u201d. REALLY delicious! Yep, they are G O O D. And know what?… this cookie recipe is made with regular spelt flour AND whole grain spelt, cause I wanted to impart something a little bit healthy with these cookies. Even if it is just a little<\/em> bit. But there are plenty of ground almonds and lemon juice, also healthy and exactly what makes these cookies so fabulous. Plus the butter. Not so much as my thumbprint cookies<\/a>, but just enough to give them a tasty base. These cookies are lemony with just a touch of sweetness. In my opinion the perfect balance between sweet and tart. I think you are going to love them.<\/p>\n

Almond lemon cookies are the perfect any occasion type of cookie<\/h2>\n

What I particularly love about these type of cookies is that they aren\u2019t exclusively a Christmas cookie. With their tart lemony flavor they are perfect for serving at Easter, afternoon tea or simply because you love cookies and love to bake. That said. As someone who prefers cooking over baking, I have actually being enjoying baking cookies. Only because I like to make simple and easy cookies. And cookies to suit my taste. Not too sweet. But still sweet enough that everyone loves them. And they do! Again, I did my testing on colleagues. Well… with what was left of this last batch. My favorite Schwabe polished off about 20 (or was it 30?) of these in one afternoon. Not advisable. These are cookies after all and Christmas and a whole lot more cookies are yet to come. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\nSince almonds and lemon are such a dream team together, it got me to thinking about what other nuts would work well too. Pretty sure ground hazelnuts would bet a hit with lemon or even orange for that matter. Mmmm hazelnut-orange cookies. Now there\u2019s a thought. Definitely will give that a try.<\/p>\n

But for now I have two more cookies recipes yet to come. A super simple recipe for another almond-lemon cookie. One that is quite different from this one. For one, there is no butter, instead it\u2019s basically made with ground almonds, lemon and egg whites. And it\u2019s fabulous. Second, a sugar-free cookie made with Medjool dates, almonds, and tahini. Super yum and a cookie you find you might just keep making all year round. Gotta love guilt-free snacks. And for today super easy, super tasty almond lemon cookies. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
