So, these easy to make, soft and chewy cranberry lemon cookies are truly the best! If you love all things lemon-y desserts, then these are for you. Moreover, my husband is obsessed with lemon baked goods, and these are some of his favorite cookies of all time.
The texture is perfect, they are soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. This is because they are made with almond flour, which also keeps them completely grain-free. Also, they are bursting with flavor from the lemon zest and tart cranberries, which is a perfect summertime cookie flavor, in my opinion.

Sp, the thing I love most about this recipe is how simple it is! It only requires one bowl, and ingredients that you would normally find in a grain-free cookie. Also, the dough comes together quickly, and they cook fast!
