Keto Shortbread Cookies
Okay, healthy shortbread cookies would be a feat in and of themselves. But, low carb, KETO shortbread cookies? Definitely impossible without some kind of magic! ...Or are they?Of course they’re not! I’m no wizard, but with a few healthy baking substitutions, we CAN make clean, sugar free, low carb shortbread cookies. In fact, it’s not all that hard—and you only need 5 ingredients!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup softened grass-fed butter
- ⅓ cup erythritol or sweetener of choice
- salt to taste (~⅛ tsp)
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 1⅔ cups almond flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and erythritol together with hand mixer.
- Add vanilla and salt.
- Beat in almond flour, adding ⅓ of the flour at a time. If your mixture isn’t turning into a dough, add 1 Tbsp of butter and adjust to desired consistency.
- Scoop round spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten tops gently with hands. (They won’t spread during baking.)
- Bake 12 minutes, until golden-brown at the edges.
- Allow to cool completely on the tray before serving and enjoying!
