Ingredients
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 115 grams Salted butter, softened
- 50 grams Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and erythritol sweetener. Cream them together using a hand mixer or wooden spoon until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter mixture and mix well to combine.
Step 4
Gradually add the almond flour into the creamed butter mixture, mixing continuously until a dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Step 5
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Using your hands, shape the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife or a dough cutter, slice the dough into roughly 16 equal fingers (rectangles). Carefully transfer each piece to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 7
Use a fork to gently prick the surface of each shortbread finger, ensuring an even bake.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake, as almond flour can become dry.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the shortbread fingers to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your low-carb shortbread fingers with a hot cup of tea or coffee!
