Gluten Free Lemon Cookies

Now that school is out, I find myself baking in the kitchen with the kiddos more often. It’s something I love doing but don’t always have time during the crazy school year. The other day we had a rainy day and Miss E and I made these delicious Gluten Free Lemon Cookies. It’s funny how your taste buds change over time. Growing up, I didn’t like anything lemon flavored. Yet today, I find myself loving this refreshing taste through the hot summer months!

They turned out so good that I thought I’d share the simple recipe with all of you!

For this recipe, I started out with my favorite Gluten Free Snickerdoodle Recipe and then modified it for these Lemon Cookies.

    Thank you so much for this recipe! I love lemon cookies, and have made a choice to give up gluten. I’m much healthier now, but need to replace many of my old recipes. I do not, however, need the recipes to be dairy-free. Would you tell me, please, how much (or how many) eggs I would use instead of the egg replacer? Thanks.

      I haven’t tried making these using eggs, but the amount of Egg Replacer I used is equal to 2 eggs.

June recap! Not as many projects happened, but I’ve been enjoying summer life with the kids and making memories. 

My trip back to Seattle was so needed and refreshing. Summer in Seattle is unmatched.

We took our first family trip to Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas and we all fell in love. 

The kids finished up summer baseball, summer track and now we get a little break before football and fall sports.
