Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with some coconut oil.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Press down on each cookie slightly to flatten.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
