Made with just a few pantry staples, these shortbread cookies are the ultimate holiday treat
Prep 7 minutes
Cook 9 minutes
Total 16 minutes
Recipe Makes (Approximate): 16 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fine almond flour
  • cup granulated 1:1 sugar substitute blend (like granulated Swerve, See Notes)
  • 5 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • ¾ teaspoon sugar-free vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
  • heavy cream (optional, for decoration)
  • granulated erythritol (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix all of the ingredients.
  • Knead until you get a smooth dough.
  • Roll out the dough until it's a little less than 1/2" thick. Cut the dough into rectangles or use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Prick the cookies' surface lightly with a fork.
  • Add cookies to parchment paper-lined or lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 7-9 minutes or until bottom edges are golden brown.

Recipe Notes

  • Decoration ideas: If you'd like, brush a little bit of cream on the cookies while they're still warm and sprinkle with some granulated erythritol on top for a classic shortbread look. We also love these cookies topped with keto cream cheese frosting or keto royal icing.
