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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar substitute until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or whisk.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until well incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, folding gently with a spatula until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Press the dough evenly into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, lightly score the dough into 8 wedges, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 8

Prick the surface with a fork to create a traditional shortbread pattern.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully transferring to a wire rack.

Step 11

Once completely cooled, use the pre-scored lines to cut the shortbread into wedges and serve.
