Gluten free Lemon Cookies is a solar cooking recipe.
Almost everyone loves a good cookie every once in a while – even if they are gluten free – maybe more, since a good gluten free cookie is hard to find. These Gluten Free Lemon Cookies are so good that you won’t even know they are gluten free. You will be hiding these from everyone else and keeping them just for yourself because they are that good. Sweet, slightly tart, and very lemony, they have a crispy soft texture. The lemon glaze on the top just adds to the flavor. These Lemon Cookies were baked in a Sport Solar oven.
Gluten Free Lemon Cookies
- 1½ cups gluten free flour
- ⅓ cup Ultra Gel
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- zest of 1 lemon
- 12 TBSP butter or margarine
- 1 egg white
- juice from 1 lemon
- Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- juice from 1 lemon
- Pre-heat solar oven while preparing the cookies,until
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, Ultra Gel, baking powder, salt, and powdered sugar. Stir to mix together.
- Add the lemon zest and mix until combined.
- In a small bowl, mix the egg, butter, and lemon juice. When combined, add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, and then stir to combine into a thick dough. (This will be thick. You may need to use your hands)
- Roll the dough into balls using about a TBSP of dough. Place onto greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
- With a fork, gently press out the cookie ball and form the stripes on the top
- Bake uncovered in the solar oven until crispy and firm, about an hour.
- Remove from oven. Let cool one minute. Then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- To glaze: Mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice into a smooth, thin glaze. Drizzle across the tops of the cookies while still slightly warm.
This recipe can be made dairy free, and egg free by substituting an egg replacer and dairy free margarine.
To bake in a regular oven, follow the same directions and bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes.

Thank you Merry for this recipe! I can’t wait to try it. But in the meantime, I would like to share with you my amazing, award winning gluten free chocolate chip cookies. I follow Betty Crocker’s GF recipe. I use organic eggs and unsalted butter. Other tips: use real vanilla preferably Mexican, don’t overwork the flour or cookies will implode, and stick the dough in the freezer for 20 minutes before baking;)
