LEMON SWIRL BISCUITS

Section 1: Ingredients

IINGREDIENTS

For the biscuits:

• 160g of Ground Almonds (1 & 1/3 Cups)

• 60ml of Melted Coconut Oil (1/4 Cup)

• Pinch of Sea Salt

• 2 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup

• 1 Teaspoon of Vanilla Essence

• Zest of 1 Lemon

For the lemon swirl:

• 1 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice

• 20g of Cashew Butter

• 20ml of Maple Syrup

Section 2: INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 180’C.

2. Combine the ground almonds, salt and the zest of 1 lemon in a large bowl.

3. Add in the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and vanilla and mix well. Roll the mixture into a large ball.

4. Use a rolling pin to roll it out until about 1cm thick.

5. Use a cookie cutter or glass to cut out the biscuits. Don’t worry if it cracks, just cut from the middle and roll again as needed.

6. Place them on a roasting tray and bake for about 10-12 minutes until golden.

7. Leave the biscuits to cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

8. When they’re cool, whisk together the cashew butter, maple syrup and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Taste it and add a little more lemon juice to taste.

9. Decorate each one with a thin layer of the cashew lemon drizzle. I like to sprinkle them with a little desiccated coconut too.

Enjoy!
