Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
• 3 tablespoons Granulated erythritol (or your preferred sugar substitute)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated erythritol until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the almond flour and salt to the bowl, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a small ball.

Step 6

Flatten each ball gently between your palms to form a disk about 1/2 inch thick and place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Using a fork, lightly press down on each cookie in a crisscross pattern for a decorative texture (optional).

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Avoid overbaking as these cookies can dry out easily.

Step 9

Allow the shortbread to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing in an airtight container.
