Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, rub the lime zest and sugar together with your fingers for 30 seconds to infuse the sugar with lime flavor. Next add in the melted and cooled coconut oil, egg, fresh lime juice and almond extract. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
Step 3
Add in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt. Stir until well-combined. Let dough sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, if the dough is too wet to form into balls, add another tablespoon of coconut flour and allow the dough to sit for 5 more minutes.
Step 4
Roll into 12 balls (if you want you can roll each ball in a bit of sugar before baking) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Gently flatten slightly with your hand. Bake for 9-12 minutes. Let cool completely on a baking sheet before glazing.
Step 5
Make the glaze by mixing together the powdered sugar and fresh lime juice until smooth. Add more lime juice to thin, if necessary. Place about a 1/2 tablespoon over each cookie. Garnish with a little lime zest, if desired. Enjoy!
