Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated erythritol using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add in the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and press it evenly into the bottom.
Use a fork to prick the surface of the dough all over. This will prevent it from rising excessively and ensures even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden but the center remains light in color.
Remove from the oven and allow the shortbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cutting board.
Cut the shortbread into 12 fingers while still warm, then let them cool completely before serving.
