Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated erythritol until smooth and well combined.

Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, stirring until incorporated.

Gradually stir in the almond flour and salt until a thick cookie dough forms.

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten them slightly with the back of a fork.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, your Low Carb Lemon Cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
