Why These Cookies are a Must-Try

Experience the rich, buttery flavor combined with a soft, delicate, and chewy texture that melts in your mouth. These Keto Shortbread Cookies are a delightful treat that’s easy to make with just four simple ingredients. With no eggs needed and a prep time of only 10 minutes, these cookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings while staying true to your low-carb lifestyle.

Key Ingredients & Substitutions

Almond Flour: Opt for finely ground and blanched almond flour for the best texture. Avoid almond meal, as it may result in a grainy texture. If you prefer a nut-free version, coconut flour can be used as an alternative.

Butter: Butter yields the best flavor and texture for these cookies. If you prefer a dairy-free or vegan option, you can substitute with ghee or coconut oil. Ensure the butter is softened at room temperature before use.

Sweetener: Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Blend is recommended for its texture and zero net carbs. However, you can use other granulated keto sweeteners, adjusting for taste and texture accordingly.

Vanilla Extract: Choose a high-quality vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the cookies.

Optional Chocolate Dip

Enhance your keto shortbread cookies with a decadent chocolate dip. Sugar-free chocolate chips combined with coconut oil create a glossy finish, while chopped nuts add a satisfying crunch.

How to Make Almond Flour Cookies

Cream Butter and Sweetener: Using a mixer, blend softened butter and sweetener until fluffy and light in color.

Incorporate Other Ingredients: Beat in vanilla extract, then gradually add almond flour, mixing well after each addition. The dough will be crumbly but should stick together when pressed.

Form Cookies: Scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten each cookie to your desired thickness.

Bake: Bake at 350°F (177°C) for approximately 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool completely on the pan to harden.

Optional Chocolate Dip Instructions

Prepare Chocolate Dip: Melt sugar-free chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler until smooth.

Dip Cookies: Once cooled, dip the cookies halfway into the melted chocolate and place them on a parchment-lined sheet.

Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate before it sets.

Chill: Place the cookies in the refrigerator until the chocolate firms up.

Storage Tips

Store your keto shortbread cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the fridge for an extended shelf life.
