Gluten Free Lemon Cookies

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.

9. 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.

Notes

My cookies baked about an hour at 300 degrees on a warm, sunny fall day. Actual cooking time varies depending on the type of solar cooker, the weather, and the amount of food being cooked. For best results, and the shortest baking time, keep the oven pointed directly into the sun.

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.
