Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and erythritol using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add in the vanilla extract and salt, and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the almond flour to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed. Continue until the dough comes together.
Use your hands to form the dough into a ball. The dough might be a bit crumbly but should hold together when pressed.
Divide the dough into 20 equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it slightly to form a cookie shape.
Place the cookies on the lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
Once cooled, enjoy your Keto Classic Shortbread Cookies with a warm beverage, or store them in an airtight container for up to one week.
