Chickpea Flour Lemon Cookies

These gluten-free cookies have an incredible citrus aroma that fills the whole house. This dessert is perfect for tea time or as a healthy snack. Thanks to the combination of fresh lemon juice and zest, the flavor has a pleasant tartness. Chickpea flour adds a light nutty note to the cookies and is also a rich source of fiber. This is especially important because it can be difficult to get enough fiber when following a gluten-free diet. As a result, each bite of these cookies is not only delicious but also beneficial for digestion, promoting long-lasting satiety and supporting gut health.
