Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup coconut oil room temperature
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1¼ lemons, juiced
  • ½ lemon, zested
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.

  • Mix in the egg, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest, and ricotta.
  • Next, add the baking soda and salt.
  • Lastly, gently stir in the flours.
  • Carefully roll the dough into balls and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. The dough will be quite wet, but that's okay.
