Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 130 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., erythritol or monk fruit sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar substitute until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or whisk.
Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, folding gently with a spatula until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.
Using a sharp knife, lightly score the dough into 8 wedges, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Prick the surface with a fork to create a traditional shortbread pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack.
Once completely cooled, use the pre-scored lines to cut the shortbread into wedges and serve.
