How To Make Easy Lemon Ricotta Cookies (Gluten & Sugar Free)

Written by Erin Porter

These easy sugar free lemon ricotta cookies lasted approximately two hours when I made them for the first time last night.  Did I mention this recipe makes about 35 cookies?  Yes, 35 cookies gone in two hours.  I should mention they are also gluten free!

As a general rule, all you need to make any sugar and gluten free dessert including these lemon ricotta cookies, is to have a great gluten free flour alternative on hand, as well as a sugar free healthy sweetener.

What You Will Need To Make Lemon Ricotta Cookies

  • 1 1/4 cups Gluten Free Flour (I have tried this recipe with Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 stick of butter softened
  • 1 cups xylitol or monk fruit Erythritol Mix
  • 1 organic egg
  • 7 ounces whole milk ricotta
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • Juice of 1.5 lemons
  • About 1 tablespoon of lemon zest

How To Make Sugar Free Lemon Ricotta Cookies

  • Mix all dry ingredients together
  • Beat butter and sugar with a hand mixer until thoroughly mixed and fluffy
  • Add egg and rest of ingredients (except for the dry ingredients) to the butter and sugar
  • Add dry ingredients and mix
  • Chill the batter for a couple of hours (you can’t miss this step
  • When ready to use make matter into small balls as seen below about the size of a tablespoon
  • Preheat oven to 375
  • Place on a greased cookie sheet
  • Bake for approximately 15-17 minutes.  I check them at 15 minutes.  I like them a bit moist and fluffy in the middle
