KETO SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Looking for a delicious low carb cookie for the holiday season? Try these amazing keto shortbread cookies!
The are super easy to make and are only 4 ingredients. They don’t even taste low carb!
Now I will mention – they do have a SLIGHT almondy taste to them. That’s why I added a tbsp of vanilla.. to combat any major tastes left from the flour.
One tip I will say is that when you are mixing the dough, make sure you mix it extremely well. Ensure that when you have a firm dough, it’s not gritty. It should be smooth.
For this recipe, I altered one from King Arthur flour to make them low carb. Here is the original recipe: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/gluten-free-almond-flour-shortbread-cookies-recipe
What you’ll need:
3 tbsp room temperature butter
3 tbsp confectioners sugar substitute (I used Swerve)
1 cup almond flour
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt (omit if you use salted butter)
With a hand mixer, whip up your butter until its nice and smooth.. add in your sugar substitute, salt and vanilla – mix thoroughly.
Slowly whip while adding in the almond flour. It will eventually form a nice big lump of dough.
Roll out the dough and cut into shapes.. bake at 350 until golden brown.. roughly 5-10 minutes. keep an eye on it otherwise they burn easily.
Take out and let them cool. They will firm up as they cool.
Enjoy!
