If you're looking for a healthier dessert that tastes like summer, these Soft Lemon Blueberry Cookies are one of my favourites.

They're soft, tender, lightly sweetened, and bursting with juicy blueberries and fresh lemon flavour. Made with wholesome ingredients like almond flour and Greek yogurt, they're naturally gluten-free and higher in protein than your average cookie.

Whether you're looking for an afternoon treat, something to pack in lunches, or a healthier dessert to enjoy with a cup of tea, these cookies are sure to become a new favourite.

Why You'll Love These Cookies

Unlike many traditional cookies that rely on refined flour and large amounts of butter and sugar, these cookies are made with nourishing ingredients that provide more staying power.

Almond flour adds healthy fats, protein, fibre, and vitamin E while creating a wonderfully soft texture.

Greek yogurt boosts the protein content while keeping the cookies moist and tender.

Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, including anthocyanins, which give them their beautiful blue colour and help protect our cells from oxidative stress. They're also a great source of fibre and vitamin C.

And of course, fresh lemon juice adds a bright, fresh flavour that pairs perfectly with the blueberries.

These cookies are:

✔ Gluten-free
✔ Made with almond flour
