Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Powdered erythritol (or other low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered erythritol together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
Gather the dough into a ball and place it on a piece of parchment paper.
Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out biscuit shapes, or shape into a rectangle and slice into fingers for traditional shortbread shapes.
Place the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing slightly apart.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are just beginning to turn golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
